| no partners | | | With the week long warm temps melting half of the snow off the mountain, I thought the Noon Creek Ridge trail up combined with the Arcadia trail down would be doable and make a fine loop for the day. Started from the Noon Creek Cutoff trail, which is in great shape, and took it up to the Ridge trail. The first mile of the Ridge trail is also in great shape, but the next mile has become quite a mess in the last couple of years and is difficult to follow through the deadfall & overgrowth. I then started to hit snow on the north side at 7000 ft and soon after many locust bushes covering the trail. I bushwacked on a little further up until it was clear that the snow was just getting to deep and I was not going to be able to complete the loop and had to turn around. Still a great hike and the first time I have ever been on the upper trail with snow on it, very pretty! |
