Anyone have an info on the snow levels on Benson? Looking to do a backpacking loop this weekend and was not able to get a clear answer from the ranger station.
Thanks!
Benson Plateau
Re: Benson Plateau
No snow. Hiked through via the PCT about ten days ago, and noticed several small patches left at that time. There was about four feet of snow over much of the ridge north of Wahtum Lake (several miles south of Benson and slightly higher), which is around 4300 feet, but this area holds snow better.
Teakettle Spring is running fine. Also, the creek/spring just south of the plateau had water (on the trail that drops steeply down to Eagle Creek).
