Nice hike- we hiked is in mid-February and there was a light coating of packed snow. We came in from the Valley Picnic area and hiked the outer loop plus the spur trail to the Hemlok Grove. The climb is easy and there is a lot of flat ground on the "plateau". Not the best hike in CVNP but in the snow or leaf season it is pretty. Please don't walk in the cross-country ski tracks if they are there!
