Snow Peak — Friday, Sep. 24, 2021

I headed in with 2 friends on Friday for 2 nights at the cabin. We were early at the snow peak trailhead (we'd disperse camped nearby the night prior). we didn't see another person until the second day (when we hiked the Sherman peak loop). There was plenty of clean enough water in the trough near the cabin (we used a pot to collect it running out of the pipe that feeds into the trough & of course we filtered/boiled it - depending on our planned use). there was also a spring up the hill (it took some work to clean it out to make it useable - but the trough was way more convenient & every bit as clean. The cabin was tidy/clean & the cots with their mattresses were really comfy. Plenty of wood (cabin was warm, didn't need much heat even tho outdoors was cool) & plenty of gas for cooking.  the solitude was fantastic & the sights were spectacular.  sunrise & sunsets were amazing! the larch are just starting, the aspen is well on it's way.  the first afternoon we headed south on the trail to the pass between snow peak & bald mountain.  day 2 we walked the sherman Peak Loop (we went anti clockwise, the few day hikers we saw were walking clockwise) - great loop, diverse sights. day 3 we headed out (would have loved one more night. I look forward to returning to this wonderful wild spot & exploring further.
