Wow this looks really fun! Do you think there’s snow on this trail now?

No snow right now. However, the peak is above 6,000′, so keep an eye on weather. It will be covered in snow several more times this year. Also, this trailhead is very close to the Red Box parking area making it easily accessible even if the gate at Mt. Wilson Road is closed. The last time I snowshoed this trail the gate was closed.
