Is July 1 too early for the 3 Sisters Loop? (Snow?)

Dude got lost there yesterday and SAR was called out to find him. He's ok now.

Yikes! Glad the hiker was safe.

We did the Bell Creek Loop in the Gorge instead. Close to home, one night stay, home by lunch today.

Going to be doing the loop starting at the pole creek trailhead tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh, wow! Good luck! I look forward to hearing about it.

Well that sucked. Yep, lots and lots of snow. Anything above 6300-6500 feet. We pretty much had to scrap most of the loop. On top of that, anything down low was infested with mosquitoes. LOTS of mosquitoes. Not much fun. Yeah another month and it'll be fine. We may go back and try it again in Sept.
