 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Truly not possible for any on this route & assume in the range. If you are willing to travel up & down crossings to find a sketchy spot... still not advisable and got worse as day went on. Water crossings where none should be (melt off, waterfall- fast moving water everywhere above ~2.5k) |

Seasonal issues- some blow downs but nothing impassable. |
|

Moriah iffy, but would considering bringing my dogs in future (not in shoulder season). |

None at elevation. Mosquitos, flies, etc. once below 2.5k and rain stopped. |

 | Comments: |
Conditions have changed based on reports read from last week on here. Seems flash thawing out causing entire upper mountain to be one massive waterfall- water crossings are more than normal and most trails have 4 inches minimum moving/standing water (max routinely saw: 12"). North facing slopes still hanging on to some ice & snow but easily passable while staying on trail. South facing all clear of snow/ice. North Carter & Imp trail held many ice spots and beware of ice under water puddles on NC near ridge split off.
Experienced a lot on trails- this was new for me, although I typically hike fall shoulder season and rarely hit early spring. |
