Silver Star conditions?
Does anyone have recent info on the conditions at Silver Star? Is the summit snow free? What about Road 4109--is it passable in a Subaru? I remember there were some folks doing repairs in past years but it sounded like the road was still very rough.
Re: Silver Star conditions?
I hiked up the Silver Star Trail (South Ridge) on Thursday the 16th.
The summit itself is snow-free. However, there are some snow patches on the way up. Navigation was not a concern, and there is a boot path through the snow to the summit. Most of the patches are in the trees, and there is a drift just below the summit that is sort of steep (but that stopped neither us, nor a larger group of hikers who were at the summit before we arrived).

Believe it or not, I barely ever ride a mountain bike.

Thanks for the info. It looks like it might be a little early for flowers.

Subarus are still able to make it up Road 4109. Some of the difficult parts remain difficult, but a most of our repairs from last year held up through the winter.

With as much heavy rain as we've seen this spring, I'd say the roadwork you and the other volunteers did held up amazingly well. Congratulations!

That's great news! Many thanks for all your work!
