Am considering the hike from lake of angels to lena lakes in SW Olympics. Am on East Coast & trying to predict snow conditions around July 4. Can anybody venture a guess?

my fortune cookie says snow will not be a problem. however, East Coaster getting lost near Scout Lake will be. thank you for allowing progressive to post.

So true. I can't even remember the correct names as I sit here, but it's a pretty well-known minor route that goes by LLs. I got to the basins below LA last summer on the trail, but a bear hunter's rifle shots scared my girlfriend, so we turned around. Stunning moonlite views of Pershing though.

There is always snow on the East face of stone (It can be a large snow feild in early July). Easy to cross it is adviseable to bring an ice axe. Bring a helmet too because the route through St.Peters gate is steep and full of lose rock and scree.
