A heads up that the 4th of July trail to Icicle Ridge is in very good shape (as of Friday, June 25). The alpine views are currently primo. Only snow is right on the ridge, and the lookout site itself is clear of snow. All the deadfall has been cleared, and there is water at all the usual places in abundance. Only heard one mosquito, no rattlers. Heard one grouse, and saw another. Flowers are abundant, too. Encountered seven others, two of whom were looping over to the Icicle Ridge trailhead near Leavenworth.
