10/22/05: Mount Belford's northwest slopes, as seen from near timberline in Missouri Gulch. The deep snow made for a tough trudge to the summit.

Hasn't voted | Belford was my first 14teener, did it in July 2005...curious as to the depth of the snow when you went up...as a flatlander going from 300 feet to 14,000 feet in two days was tough enough...I couldn't imagine doing it in the snow...you'd find me in the spring! | | Posted Nov 16, 2005 5:01 pm |

Hasn't voted | is it hard to get up missouri gulch in winter condtitions... is there a trail through the snow or do you have to bushwack? | | Posted Dec 30, 2005 7:04 pm |

Hasn't voted | On the day that I was up there, I was able to follow a trail the whole way to timberline, though it was difficult to find some times. With more snow it may require bushwhacking. | | Posted Dec 31, 2005 4:06 pm |
