[pct-l] hiker trail vs. pack trail on Goat Rocks

[Ken Martin]

Several years ago when we determined the official route too icy we took the upper route and found it quite passable and snow free.

In the Goat Rocks Wilderness, how does the hiker trail over Old Snowy compare to the pack trail through Packwood Glacier? I am looking for the least snowbound or slick route. I don’t mind more miles or elevation gain if I can avoid a snow field. 
We’re planning to hike this area about August 8, but could postpone to Aug 15 if going one week later might make a significant difference in the amount of snow remaining. Any thoughts on that, from someone who knows the area? 

Should I bring microspikes? 


Thanks, 
Carolyn
