Update on trail conditions....
Biting flies and mosquitoes first couples miles through forest and across boulder fields. There’s water to refill bottles a about a mile and 1/2 in.
Gorgeous high alpine meadows above boulder fields.
A couple small snow fields to cross once down in the basin before you get to the base of Inspiration Glacier. Not much crevasse concern on Inspiration right now. (We just stayed right) Once you crest the top of the glacier there’s a flat sun cupped glacier basin to cross and then you’re at high camp. Took us 7 hours from car to get to high camp.
Heading up Eldorado there’s one area with large crevasses and snow bridges we didn’t want to cross so we went over onto the rocks for a small section.
Summit experience is like nothing else I’ve done with the knife-edge exposure, very cool!
