We hiked from the Gumjuwac trailhead up to the saddle. We had previously been to Lookout Mountain, so we headed for Gunsight Butte. We did not encounter snow until the saddle. We were able to follow the trail for a bit after that, but we lost it in snow once we reached the snag area. At that point, we moved cross country up the ridge, but GPS said we were close to the trail anyway. Views of Mount Hood were great. We returned the same way and then walked on the trail to Lookout Mountain until we reached some easterly views.
