The trail is in good shape only 2 blow downs. Amazing Views and
wildflowers!
Patchy snow but no need for an axe. Much Less snow on this section (K)
than the Glacier re-route to Steven's Pass section (L) (which I did two
weeks ago). Osprey emailed me and reported the same thing (he just did
the glacier re-route)...more snow on section K than L. He did not need
an axe. I brought and axe to Manning and wished I had left it at home.
Advice to Flip floppers. Come to Manning the snow is melting fast (10
day forcast is sunny highs in the 70-80's lows in the 40-50's) and
leave your axe at home. It is a little early for bugs but in a few
weeks they should be bad.
Much better than a few weeks ago when I was out in the blizzard!
HYOH,
Mara (aka Bubbles....yes...I got a trail name!)
