| SeanReedy | Snowstorm  Date Climbed: Nov 26, 2008 | |
| I started at Quaking Aspen at 3:30 p.m. Patches of snow could be found at 7,000 feet and above. As I hiked and jogged quickly upward, slush began to rain down on me, cooling me off. From 8,000 feet upward, heavy snow began to fall and more than 6 inches of fluffy powder covered the ground. I reached the top before 5:00 p.m. and headed down in the dark with a headlamp. It was pleasant at higher altitudes and visibility was good through the snow up high, so to get back, I took a shortcut cross country until I found my old tracks along the trail and headed down into the unpleasant slush and fog that wet my trail runners and made it a longer slog back to the truck than the trip up had been. | |

| A really nice trail through serious bear country. To get to the actual summit you have to hike practically all the way around the summit from west to east to find the use trail. It was a perfect day except for the haze obscuring the view to the south. | |

| Hiked along the Summit trail from Quaker Meadow. Enjoyable views. Missed this one earlier in the year due to snow closure on SR190. | ||
