Snow on trail
We met the WTA trail crew at the TH! Thanks for your hard work!
The trail is in good shape with patchy snow starting at about 4000ft and becoming continuous at 5000 ft. Marmot pass is still a blanket of at least 6 ft of snow. Hikers will have to navigate through the snow for the last 1000ft as the trail is still buried.
We had some stunning views at the pass and even saw a marmot in the snow!
