We were aiming for Wahtum Lake and Chinidere Mountain, but the ungodly amount of annoying snow kept us away. Instead, we went up to a rocky prominence on the ridge near Tomlike Mountain. We decided against going the few hundred feet further up Tomlike because, damnit, it was the nicest day of the year so far and, damnit, it was freezing cold on that ridge!
Great trip though. Beautiful sun-mottled woods and good times.
Snow started in earnest at around 3400' on the Herman Creek Trail, with about 3' on the ridge line at 4200'.
