Been to BCMC Trail. It was a little bit icy on the top part, but still okay even without Microspikes (but better bring them with you if you have).
The Art of Conservation events (Nov.5-13) are the bonus when you hike up. You can enjoy the free music performance, art exhibit, film screenings...etc. You can find the schedule here:
I googled "microspike" and find out what it is. Oh my god, too complicate for me, a naive hiker.
Thank you Dada for the information, that is very useful. Maybe I will try BCMC trail .[/img][/flash]
