Lotsa snow on the way to the summit, but despite the rangers' telling us we would have to stop at Camp Windy due to deep snow, we (and many others) kept on going. We had Yaktrax, and that made it kind of fun to navigate the many snow fields. However, we didn't make it all the way up; we'd left late and the snow made for slow going so we turned around just below the summit. Gorgeous day, though, and gorgeous hike. Wildflowers are just starting; a few patches of avalanche lilies, few trilliums. In a few weeks the trail should be a lot easier. There is about 7 feet of snow at the top, according to the Quilcene rangers.
