Snow?? On Rincon Peak trail

Post by Jsaltzman »

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has hiked Rincon Peak in the past few days. I would like to know what the snow situation is for the last mile of the trail.

Thanks!

I was just on Tanque Verde Peak this past Sunday and had a clear view of Rincon where the trail would be. There is certainly snow on that last mile, the entire north side of the peak had visible snow down to probably about 7600’. I am sure it is starting to melt off quickly though, and wouldn’t be a problem with microspikes.
Stop crying and just go do the hike.
