JonMW Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Did not pan out for this weekend so starting the search early for next weekend, either Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon, whatever looks best. Jon Quote
OKPDX Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hi Jon, do you hike, ski or snowshoeing? How strict you are with the dates? What is your itinerary? Quote
JonMW Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009 Probably looking like Sat, Sun, Mon; limited by work sched. Drive and hike in Sat to 8 mile camp, Glacier meadows or Snow Dome Sun, climb and head out Monday. I wouldn't bring skis. Not sure if snowshoes would be useful or overkill. Jon Quote
OKPDX Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Do you mean hike 18 mls to camp at Glacier meadows? Have you been there? It'd sound more adventurous to make it car-to-car about 45 mls in a day (< 24h). ++ it's summer with long light days, one can move faster if not carry plenty of stuff on, low altitude = one can move faster -- it (45 mls) still physically demanding, it still slightly over 7K ft elevation change, eventually there are animals in forest which also don't sleep at night, be on a glacier in a middle (or second half) of a day. ya, car-to-car might be too adventurous It seems, unfortunately, I can't make it this weekend but may be the next or one thereafter. what do you think?
