The main page of Mt Watson on Summitpost suggests that it'd take a multi-day trip in winter. In fact it took us exactly 7 hours, by the way of Pitt and Page Hill and Blue, Rock, Azure, Tail, and Washington Lakes.

Voted 10/10 | More power to you guys! Getting it done in winter! I'm a spring/summer hiker hunkered down here in the Marin County rain with the van in the shop for the day! Looking foward to getting out to Death Valley vicinity in a few weeks or so. | | Posted Mar 2, 2009 4:00 pm |

Voted 10/10 | It might have been technically winter, but it sure felt like spring. | | Posted Mar 2, 2009 4:28 pm |

Hasn't voted | March Death Valley, is it gonna be "flower power" then? :)
By ZeeJay's calculation, following summer roads and trails would add up to 15 miles one way to the summit ... a passably long day on skis. But since we cut almost straight cross-country, it was barely above 10 miles to the summit for us (and more beautiful on the xc route too, with distant views and countless high country lakes). | | Posted Mar 2, 2009 4:59 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Did somebody say "flower power," and all the
fragile butterflies that come along with that??
