Don't forget your mittens

You can see snow on the upper reaches of Pikes Peak, but there still seem to be a lot of rocks poking through. Don't be deceived by views from the Springs.

Teresa and Neal, the caretakers at Barr Camp, report the trail is a little icy, and that few people have made it to the summit since last week's snowstorm. "It is VERY WINTERY conditions above tree-line," Teresa wrote in an e-mail.
