27.5 miles of hiking • 6750' elevation gain • 3 nights
Thursday - drive in to Snowgrass TH (15 +/- cars at trailhead) and hike to Snowgrass/PCT junction, set a camp for 2 nights. Friday - up Old Snowy, then to Cispus Basin in the evening, to see the goats. Saturday - move camp to the base of Hawkeye Point (Peak?) and hike to the summit. It got down to freezing the 3rd night. Sunday - took some pictures around Upper Jordan Basin, headed out via Goat Ridge.
Snow is not an issue on the trail (snowy as usual on PCT near Old Snowy and at the lake but with good tracks, otherwise just a few patches), and the flowers are starting nicely. For the very best flowers, wait a couple of weeks.
