The trail was snow-free for the first 1.5 miles or so, then gradually transitioned into snowy sections until it was completely covered in snow. The snow was packed down and icy in spots. Along the way, we encountered a few waterfalls, downed trees, and snow bridges. After reaching the Glacier Basin campsite area, we decided to continue our trek toward Camp Curtis. The snow became softer, and we found ourselves consistently postholing around 7,600 feet. At that point, we decided to stop and turn back. It was a beautiful day on the mountain. We logged 10 miles with 3,200 feet of elevation gain.
