Old Snowy Mountain - Elk Pass, Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Section H - Bridge of the Gods to White Pass — Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025

Road to the TH in great shape, suitable for all cars. Took the PCT route in lieu of the Old Snowy alternate; there are two snowfields. If doing early in the AM, expect the steps in the snow to be icy. I brought microspikes and would recommend if you can to do the same. Most thru hikers don’t have spikes and are making it, however - it’s just gonna be sketchy for most folks. Other than that, this is a magical place. Most thru hikers reported to me that it rivals any area of the Sierra on the PCT.
