I was a bit surprised to see patchy scattered snow at the Pass ... but it didn't become pervasive until above Shake Spring, and I didn't go high enough to need snow shoes (which I didn't have) or Microspikes (which I did).
Temps varied from around 40-60 depending on sun and elevation. I did well with layering and handwarmers and hot tea ... only time I got too cold was when off trail in the snow searching for Alder Spring ... was on the edge of too warm more often.
Just before Shake Spring I met a nice older couple hiking with a nice Golden Retriever ... they had stopped and turned back a few minutes before - wondering where the Spring was. I should have checked Route Scout and told them it was just right around the corner! Oh well, they had a nice day hiking anyhow.
Shake Spring is cute, with nice camping and area I want to explore when it's warmer.
Trap Spring same.
Immediately after Trap, took the left towards Alder, but not being familiar with it, I lost the trail right away. Tried to follow gps, and apparently was all over the Spring, but didn't see it buried in snow.
It's interesting to look at my route on the (Summer) satellite view now - looks a lot different on the ground in the snow! Also, there appears to be a good trail roughly paralleling Shake Trail just to the West?
Headed down, very pleased with my day and reached the car in no time. |
