I had this desire to preview the final undone 1.2 miles of the Spray Park Loop, and this 10 hour, 10 mile hike from Mowich Lake completed the task. Next year I want to do the whole loop in one day.
It turned out to be a nice, clear, and decently warm enough day. Most of the little ponds were dried up and most of the flowers were gone. I came away with obligatory blue fingers.
I saw at least 10 people carrying their downhill ski gear to/from the Echo/Observation area. I asked one gal how far she skied, and the answer was “about 200 feet”. I’m sure it was fun anyway.
There were very minor snow crossings above 6000'.
