billclimbs Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Anyone know if the loop is passable. I remember hearing something about a section being closed. Hoping to do it soon to make it a snowshoe trip. Is there a better time of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBo6 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Did it last year and it was passable. I believe that the officially unkept part is from Tilly Jane/Cloud Cap to about 4 miles north of the Elliot Glacier washout. All the unkept part means is that you have to duck under a tree every couple hundred yards. It is a little difficult crossing the Elliot. We traveled up the moraine about a mile, then crossed the base of the glacier above timberline. This did put us about even with the trail on the southern side of the Elliot. We were going clockwise. Send me a PM with more questions, I can send you an email with some better info if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
