14.5 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
Made another attempt at Observation Peak. Snow is still incredibly deep up there, especially on the formal trail around the north side. The south side has an unmaintained trail that looked more promising, so we followed that for a while only to end up again on a snow-covered plateau with no sign of a trail anywhere. Bombed down the Sunshine "trail" back to Trapper Creek, in the end, and just had an altogether good, sunny day in the rainforest.
