5.5 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
Got an early start and left Timberline at 6:30am. Watched the sunrise as we climbed the ski runs. At the top of the Palmer, skiers reported impassibly deep powder on the Hogsback, so any thought of going up was abandoned, and instead we walked over to Illumination Saddle for lunch. So sunny and warm, it was like spring.
