 | Comments: |
Crawford Connector was snow free, though a bit mucky in a few places. A few blowdowns.
Crawford Path was bare until perhaps 1/3 mile before the Mizpah junction. Consistent monorail after the junction, narrow but stable. Can walk next to it in a few places, but generally you have to stay on top of it. Snow ends at treeline.
Webster Cliff Trail from Crawford Path to Mt. Pierce - bare and mostly dry.
Crawford Path from Webster Cliff Trail to Eisenhower Loop - still significant snow in the spruce areas, but the open areas are dry and bare.
Eisenhower Loop to Mt. Eisenhower - bare ground up until the final switchback. Footbed filled with fairly recent snow above there, though only a few inches deep.
Mizpah Hut sign at Crawford Path junction shows that it is now open for self service. |
