There are several routes available to us and which one we take will depend on conditions that develop over the next week. Primary objectives could be the Blue Lake Col or Cutthroat Pass. But there's other possibilities as well.
Back up plan for this is the Interglacier at MRNP. This will happen if the weather around WA Pass gives out. Date may be flexible too. Again, its Spring and conditions change often.
