Started out on Hidden
Lake Lookout trail and ran into 6 hunters and decided to turn around and head to cascade pass. The road is in good shape now with one construction bridge with a night watchman. At the trailhead the forest service was helicoptering out old tent pads from somewhere over the pass towards cottonwood where the river has changed course this year and decide to go along the road. I have to wonder if it would have been cheaper to burn the wood ' Away the trail is in excellent shape with snow starting 300 m from the pass. At the pass there is about 6 inches of snow. The trail heading up to Sahale arm the snow is only 4 inches deep and easy walking until the plateau where the snow deepens to about 2 feet. This was my turn around point since it was now 5 pm.
