How was it going back down Grays? (I'm reading that you went up Torreys and down Grays?) Thinking of doing these two next week.

Also, could you take the road all the way to the TH or did you have to hike the extra 3 miles? Thanks.

Going down grays wasn't too bad. Just follow the trail and you'll be good. Some parts of the trail was dry but most had snow. Stevens gulch road is mostly dry for they first half but not yet drivable all the way to the top. My 4x4 truck got stuck 0.6 miles before summer trailhead and there was no tire marks beyond that. Continuous snow started 0.3 miles before upper trailhead. I think it will take at least a week before any cars can make it up there.

Did you need snowshoes? Ice axe? (I'll probably bring the latter regardless, just in case.) Thanks.
