Conditions @ JRO on MSH 2-12-17
Posted: February 13th, 2017, 10:48 am
Hummocks, nada
Headed back down Boundary Trail above Hummocks. Snow was deep in parts. About 12" nominal once up here.
SR 504 near Loowit VP. Road still buried, but this could melt out really rapidly.
Near JRO Parking lot
At the info sign headed up the walkway
At the visitors center
Looking back to parking lot
The mountain in white
Bottom Line: Used snowshoes for the final 2 miles up to JRO. You could get up on the first ridge w/o them, but it gets tougher as you climb. Postholing to your knees final mile.
