| Comments: |
Great day for this hike. Snowshoes went on after 1st water crossing on Signal Ridge Trail and stayed on until just below the Upper Nancy Cascades. Snow pack is anywhere from a trace to three feet. Plenty of moose and bear activity. I met only one hiker today that turned back after first crossing. All crossings were high including on the cascades but can be crossed with caution. Amazingly the water wasn't that cold today! |
