- Snow on trail
Road to the trailhead is in good shape. We started walking at about ten in the morning and hit snow within 1/2 mile of the trailhead. At the junction with Pyramid Creek trail snow became constant but very firm and made for decent walking. There were a handfull of blowdowns in the first 2 1/2 miles and a couple of wet stream crossings. We turned off at Pugh Ridge trail and within 100 ft were out of the snow. The Pugh ridge trail is very narrow and obviously little used. It's moderately steep and south facing, I'll bet this is a hot one in mid-summer. We hit heavy snow about a mile up the trail and turned back. This would be a great fall hike, lots of solitude, I think we'll go back then.
