Mt Pershing, Forest Service Road 2401

Recommended Posts

Has anybody been up there this spring and know how the access road is? I'm thinking about Mt Pershing this weekend and the Forest Service website is pretty non-detailed on the status of the road. I was thinking about Climber's Guide Route 7 that starts around Jefferson Creek.

 

Any good route beta would also be nice?

I was on Washington and Ellinor on Memorial Day and did the low backside traverse. There is still a ton of soft snow in Lake Ellinor Basin, but the timbered slopes are pretty clear. Snow shoes might help in some sections.

 

The south side roads are completely open, and there is no problem getting into Jefferson lake, so you may get close, if not all the way to the creek. Be prepared for deep postholing and snow on the summit ridge. You'll definately avoid the brushy approach schwack.
