We'll be enjoying the beauty of high alpine wilderness in less than one week. The trail is looking good! Rangers report that the snow is melted and a few blowdowns to cross but otherwise clear. It will be an early start to shuttle to the trailhead but worthwhile for the views along the PCT.
Meeting place: We will meet at Rainy Pass TH at 8:00 am and shuttle to Hart's TH (it is a ~1 hour drive). The first day will cover 10 miles and 2,900 feet wrapping around peaks, passes and enjoying mountain views. Day 2 we'll hike about 10 miles to Lower Snowy Lakes. Day three we will return to Rainy Pass TH at about 2pm with the shuttle back to Hart's, leaving plenty of time to get home.
