Tinkham and Silver Peaks

Patches of snow on trail within about a mile of the trailhead. Lots of blowdowns and a pretty significant avalanche mess of logs/branches/etc. to traverse just after Twin Lake. Trail disappears under snow and reappears as elevation is gained; finally we gave up since the slope was pretty steep and bushwhacking around trying to find the trail (and thinking about the difficulty of getting back down) was dangerous for members of our group. If you're familiar with the trail, you could probably figure out where to go, but since we hadn't been there before and weren't expecting quite so much snow, we turned back. Lovely day, though, with white and purple trillium blooming all along the trail.
