Did an overnight just below cutthroat pass from Sept 30-Oct 1! Perfect timing for the larches, they will likely only be out for another week like this.
If you are planning on staying overnight, make sure your sleeping bag and layers can handle it… it got to about 19 deg F overnight and everything we had froze over. Snowed a bit on Saturday as well.
There are plenty of spaces near the pass to pitch your tent, please try to avoid the areas with vegetation because it really does damage the plant😔 plan enough time on your trip just for this!
Elevation was very gradual, and the views were stunning. Perfect fall weekend!

Are there campsites at lower elevation where it won’t snow? Tubing to backpack next Friday and wanted to know how hard is to find site at lower elevations.
