 | Comments: |
Mt. Tecumseh Trail is snow free until just before the top (third) water crossing. There is a short stretch of monorail just before the crossing.
Lots of wildflowers in bloom.
Patchy monorail resumes around 3,000 feet. Perhaps 50/50 at best. Narrow, but stable.
In a reversal of normal springs, the Mt. Tecumseh (counterclockwise) summit loop is pretty much all thawed, whereas the very top of the Sosman Trail (clockwise) summit loop is still 4 feet deep for a stretch.
Sosman Trail to the ski area has patchy monorail, but not nearly as bad as a week ago.
Ski trails are mostly thawed. |
