The trail was largely dry and where there was snow there, but not much. Expect this to change with snow arriving right before Thanksgiving. It's possible to go down the v-notch currently but not up it because of the snow beforehand that makes the rock slippery. All of the other obstacles were dry. China Wall North is partially traversable, but the twist and drop had loose rock and shaded snow that is dangerous for heavier vehicles.
