TH: 9 cars in total at the parking lot on this Wednesday. Pit toilet available.
Trail: The first 1/3 is a steady grade in the woods. After that you break above the thicket and into the rock fields. The grade gets steeper, rockier, and the views get way better! The last 1/3 is all rocks and a leg burner. The fall colors are peaking right now and the wildlife is getting ready for winter. We saw many pikas, a marmot, and someone reported seeing a black bear. The larches don't start until the pass itself, but once you're there you are enveloped in the larch forest stand. Plus, the views on the other side of the pass towards fisher creek are stunning. Such an awesome hike!
