Edith Creek Basin Snowshoe — Saturday, May. 20, 2023

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise
Edith Creek crossing just above Myrtle Falls (looking east towards Golden Gate trail)

Hiked 5/20/2023. A gorgeous sunny day. Trail is fully covered in snow. The NPS has clearly marked out the Edith Creek crossing, which is now down to the wood bridge. It is much safer to cross here at the bridge rather than further up in the basin - as the snow bridge over the creek may break through at any time.

The Myrtal Falls viewpoint is not accessible / dangerous to try to access at this time ... for safety, wait for the snow to melt!
