Hi Gormet and Obsidian

Dona and I are at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. We are enjoying our trip post PCT.

Good luck on your hike. It was great hiking with you.

  Flipped up to belden from kennedy meadows. Snow patchy and trail lost at 5400 feet. Gps and traction devices necessary. Saw one thru today who had flipped up to donner. My daughter and I were the only hikers he had seen since getting back on trail. We are apparently the through this section.

The Ebbetts crossing at PCT/Hwy 4 is still very snowy, with perhaps 1 to 4 feet of snow visible within sight of the road - the trail was not discernible by eye.  That is about 8000 ft., and the surrounding terrain loses snow fast perhaps 1000 ft. lower.
