Sherman Peak Loop — Sunday, Jun. 10, 2018

We attempted to do the Sherman Peak Loop on June 10 to check out the fresh snow from the night before and see how the trail was doing after the winter.  I read the trip report here from May 27 and it sounded like the trail was clear enough to do the loop.  We progressed up the trail and headed left (east) at the junction.  About a half mile past the junction there was a slide and/or avalanche that pushed a lot of trees over the trail and it was impassable.  In the attached picture the trail goes directly ahead but is completely covered with downed trees.  What a mess!  Apparently this happened since May 27.  Due to the fresh snow and slippery conditions we didn't attempt to go up the slope and around it, as this would require going in and over the large boulder field just to the west of the trail at this location.
