Great day to hike this route. Yes my buddy brought his dog! He rigged a harness for the pup and we worked him up the climbing portions. So we plugged in the GPS waypoints and we are off. Road to the trailhead is good only minor holes. The trail itself was easily followed till we lost it in the snowfields NW of the first scramble so we continued by climbing the face near the waterfall south of False Prophet. Good hand holds but has lots of flaky rock. After the climb the rest was melting snow so be carefull on the snowbridges. The final portion moving west over Whitehorse then back to the final slog NE was slippery and the snow broke thru often. The lake was covered in snow and ice. But that did not take away from the beauty that this area is blessed with. I recommend others to take this challenge. Best times are probably between July and August.
