I'm heading to Denver/Colorado Springs from PA this Sat-Tues for a long weekend and looking to bag a few of the easier peaks while there. Can anyone provide any info on current conditions on Grays/Torrey, Mt Bierstadt and Pike's Peak. Is there a need for snow shoes? Also, any other recomendations for hiking in the area at this time of year? Thanks in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated!

On Pikes, you might be postholing a bit below timberline. There isn't much snow at 9,000', but between there and 12,000 there might be more. Above treeline, most of the snow is blown off so I don't think the trail will be too much of a problem.

Note that I haven't been up there lately, I'm just basing it on what's at my house at 9,000.
