Mt. Mitchell Snow Report 3/22/2008 Posted by SEM (2008-03-22)

We tried to hike/snowshoe Mt. Mitchell (it views Mount St. Helens from the south above Swift Reservior). We only made it 1/2 mile up Road 10 before hitting snow and turning around - roughly 2 miles from the trailhead. Beautiful day with some fresh snow on the summit. I'd give it 2-3 weeks before it is passable. |

Thanks for the report. Thanks one of my favorite mid-afternoon escapes in the warmer seasons. I oftened wondered about a snowshoe trip up there. |
