nolanr Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 2 weekends ago went out to Mt. Pugh via Darrington. Was surprised that the road was open to the TH and there wasn't a trace of snow on the ground until about 4,000 ft. Last weekend I was thinking about heading up to the Forgotten Peak area. The road was blocked at Deer Creek. No snow anywhere to be seen. Ended up at Mt. Pilchuck as a backup. Was able to drive to within probably 1/2 a mile of the TH. Out of curiousity I stopped in at Verlot on the way back to ask about the road. The ranger said it was closed due to snow. I seriously doubt it since I had seen the snow level significantly higher than the elevation of the Mt. Loop itself in the same vicinity 2 weeks in a row. Methinks the FS is being lazy and keeping the road closed for their own convenience. The ranger said hopefully it would be opened by this weekend, I didn't head out there again to check. Anyone out that way this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelaySlave Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I climbed Bald Mtn Yesterday. It was snow on the road after 3/4 of a mile. More like Slurpee on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
