Very sad.

 

Sometimes I run into snowmobile tracks on the South side of that ridge where the hikers are. That means they have to ride over the col, which is off limits? They get to the backside of the mountain from the Canyon Creek Road, ride up into the basin from behind and cross over to the highway side of the mountain. Pretty popular area.
