Got an early start to hike the loop counterclockwise and headed up the west slope of Sherman Peak. There is some flagging up the ridge as well as blue diamonds marking what seems to be a ski route. Higher up the blowdowns started from the old burn. Just below the summit are some talus fields but nothing too steep to easily negotiate.
I then dropped down to the saddle between Sherman and Snow Peaks where the trail crosses and hiked up the north ridge of Snow Peak in dense young forest and fractured, rocky slopes. The summit has an enormous triangulation cairn from early surveyors and excellent views.
Then it was back down to the saddle to complete the loop.
