Bridgework along the Upper Big Creek trail
The Mt Ellinor trail can be hiked from the Big Creek campground via the Upper Big Creek trail and the Mt Ellinor connector. The summit is clear of snow, although the Chute is a challenge, at least to me. I climbed along the cliff to the left then cut over. Even socked in with coming and going clouds, the views from Mt Ellinor are eye boggling, massive chumks of basaltic gigantism in all directions.
