Fun! Almost no snow on the Benson Plateau at the Ruckel Creek junction, so easy routefinding.

Ruckel Ridge - Ruckel Creek loop. The snow on Benson was patchy, but this was at the 3700 ft level. I don't know how it is higher up.

I came though Bensons yesterday 16th June, hit snow about 1/2 mile before Benson coming north on the PCT, most of the plato covered in snow.

Nice to hear Benson's almost snow free! Did you do this as an out and back, or did you loop it?
