Any recent hikers, trips around snowbank this year? Planning a late June trip, can't find much info. Any 411 is appreciated.

Are you just looking for this year info?

Preferentially that would be great, however last year's experience would be helpful. The blogs I've found are quite a bit older, and the information is dated. Just wondering if the trail is apparent, or, if we will be bush whacking the length of it.

Thanks

I wish I could help you out with this year's trail conditions,but I've only hiked the south section through the clear cut this year. Just a very short day hike, when there was still a liitle snow left. Did not have many blowdowns, but don't know what the rest of the trail is like in the regard.

I did hike the whole loop last September and the trail was in great shape. Very easy to navigate and almost no blowdowns.

Wish I could provide more recent information. If you go please share your experience.

It's been over a year since I hiked any part of the trail but I've hiked it
5 or 6 times in the last 10 years. It's always easy to follow. There may be a few blown down trees or quite a few, it is a wilderness trail, but you should have no trouble following the trail.
