Sulphur Mountain — Saturday, May. 5, 2018

I hiked up the Sulphur Mountain trail today with my dog. The road to the trailhead is in good shape. The trail up to 4200 ft is clear of snow. At 4200 ft I put on microspikes and gaiters. I soon after lost the path completely under the snow. I set a waypoint and headed straight up hill to the ridge crest and followed it toward the top of the mountain. The snow was pretty good condition less than 5 ft deep, but I still post holed from time to time. There is a point where the ridge line meets the main mountain and it looks like there is a big boulder filled stream there. It was covered in snow and I wasn't sure what the condition of the snow was. I didn't attempt to cross and turned back at that point. It was around 4900 ft.
