At the trailhead
We hiked about 2/3rds of the way but the trail became almost completely snow covered for hundreds of yards around, though
I
did find a short section below the snow & tree lines. So we had
lunch and let our collective wisdom dictate our return which was
relatively swift and uneventful. Though we never got to the summit it was a true adventure. We enjoyed finding Green Lake on our return.The first stream crossing, at the beginning of the trailView southeast from the trail
