7 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
With Chinook Pass & White River Rd closing on the 21st, we decided to make one last run at this area. We had heard about all the great snow that had flying in early Nov. and it didn't disappoint, we actually ended up being one of the last parties for the season. It had snowed all day and the ranger swung by just as we got to the parking lot. He informed us that the gate was going to be locked and this area was done for the season !!! We didn't quite get as high as we had hoped, primarily due to the high winds and low visibility. But it was still a great day in the mountains. Theo, Jason and Russ joined me for this late season trip. Jason and Russ were on slowshoes and Theo was breaking his new AT gear in.
