Talked to the folks at the Dubois, WY Ranger Station late last week and they indicated that there were a lot of parties going up Gannett last weekend. I looked on trip reports and didn't see anything real recent so was wondering if anyone had any information on route conditions for the Glacier Trail approach? We have a group of 3 that will be heading up later this week. We are planning for 5 days roundtrip with an additional 2 days if needed for bad weather so we aren't in a hurry. We will stop in at the Ranger Station prior to our trip and have been keeping an eye on Mountain Forecast but we are mostly wondering about the route conditions up the glacier... We are all comfortable with unroped glacier travel and would love to leave our pickets, ice screws, harnesses and rope in the car, if possible. Has anyone been up recently that could share their thoughts? Erring on the side of safety we will probably bring all the gear if we aren't able to get some good intel.
Thanks!
Alison
