- Mount Roosevelt & Kaleetan Peak
- Scrambling
- Successful
- Road suitable for all vehicles
-
Snow-free and dry with the exception of (1) a bench before Roosevelt’s steep dirt/heather gully and (2) the Chair Peak Lake basin. Notably, Chair Peak Lake was still partially frozen. Denny Creek trail was open, but be aware that WTA has several work parties planned over the summer which may result in trail closures approximately 1.5 miles from Denny Creek TH. The new Franklin Falls Parking Lot is huge and there is no longer car access to Denny Creek TH (nor is parking allowed along NF-58). Bugs were terrible, especially around Melakwa Lake.
