The photos speak for themselves. Jerry and Cheryl sent these from a duo climb to Lee Peak by way of the Lee Canyon Ski Slopes and the North Loop Trail. As you can see, there is still a lot of snow up there even though it is the middle of May. The Thomases are experienced in snow hiking having attended a few snow schools and climbed many snowy peaks. Be prepared properly when attempting a snow climb.
Other information on snow coverage that club members have gathered:
– The South Loop Trailhead gate is still closed at this time.
– The highest we have safely climbed on the Trail Canyon / North Loop Trails is about 3 miles up. This is just before that long switchback up to Mummy Junction. Here, the snow endangers simple hiking progress.
– Harris Peak will remain closed this summer. Please respect the wilderness replacement progress.
Happy Hiking!
