Flying_Ned Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ellinor-Washington: Road impassible to vehicles 3.5 mi below lower Ellinor trailhead where Shield Wall comes into view. Patchy snow on road increasing to 5 feet. 5/9/08. Mt. Stone: Hamma Hamma road closed due to washout beyond Lena Creek. Take a dirt bike to get to Putvin. Snow at Whitehorse creek, meadow below first headwall still buried. 5/7/08. Brothers: Snow patches at Lower Lena. Continuous at East Fork Lena Creek. Good year to try the lower route into the Great Basin. 5/4/08. Upper Lena, Lake of the Angels likely to be iced over into July of this year. Lower Lena is ice free. Staircase Road repair contract was let today. Work should begin in a week. Possibly open by Memorial Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Wow, good (and shocking) info. Thanks! Is it true that mountain bikes are allowed on the Lower Lena trail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestCL Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Flying Ned thanks for the info on the brothers. I have been thinking the same about the Great Basin route. Note: Photo from a couple years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
