This may be completely outdated due to the rain and maybe more snow last night. Broke trail almost to the summit, but got turned around. Used Hillsounds from the car to summit area and snowshoes down to Crocker Cirque. Snow was anywhere from 2 to 4, up to 8+ near the summit. The snow covers some breaks in the rocks so be watch where you step. There were several puddles on the road walk and muddy no snow areas up to Crocker Cirque. Welcome back Winter, we missed you. |
