OK all you locals, what is the best guess for the Humphreys trail conditions for the first weekend in June? And any recommendations for a good camp site nearby? Thanks in advance.

Okay I moved the topic. This crazy Flagstaff dude that changes his name weekly will be able to answer your question when he logs on.

Best guess, expect mostly muddy trail below 10,000' and snow, ice and mud from 10,000' to 11,000' followed by mostly ice and snow with scattered mud to treeline. Then patches of snow to climb over in the areas the winter drifts were large before the trail dries out and is clear above the saddle. I have my next hike scheduled for the 18th or so and am hoping it will have improved a good deal by that time. The best close spot for a campsite is off of Freidlein Prairie Road about 1 1/2 miles up Snow Bowl Road. It is a busy area so the FS installed numbered sites on the road, but they are free. Elevation is around 8000'.
