8 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •

Expected crowds (Sunny Spring Break Saturday!), but found near complete solitude. Ran into snow a bit below 3000', and there was a good 6-10" of fluffy, crunchy powder by the time we summited. Tagged Pyramid Rock on the way down.

Looks great! I was wondering about the possibility of Silver Star.

Silver Star is wonderful no matter what the conditions are! :-)

I suspect the snow we ran into will be gone in no time. It was melting fast as we descended.

Nice! But kind of weird to see all the snow in April after not seeing it the past three months.

Indeed! It really turned out to be the ideal time to be there. And it was just about gone as we came down. (Compare the shots around Pyramid Rock on the way up and then at the end!)
