12.5 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •
Wanted to get in a snowshoe starting from the base of the gorge before it was too late in the season. It was my first time up Starvation Ridge. Amazing hike overall. I didn't have a map so once I was snowshoeing I was forced to follow tracks of former snowshoers. Did some exploring all around Warren Lake before I decided to head back down. I wish I'd brought a map because it ends up I was only about a mile from the summit at the point I turned around.........Mt. Defiance will have to wait a few more months.
