kevin3443 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Anyone been up Mt. Defiance recently? Snow level? Wanna head up there on Sat to get the legs back in shape and wondering if anyone knows the latest. Thanks! Quote
diepj Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Here's a pic from 3/24, right after we had a bunch of low level snow. The hike was very doable in hiking boots. I haven't paid a lot of attention to the snow/freezing level but I would guess conditions would be similar right now. Quote
Seamstress Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Went up Wyeth Trail to North Lake a few days ago - a close neighbor to Defiance. Snow was deep by 3,000'. Summitted Defiance a month ago, but much low level snow since then. I'm afraid snowshoes remain a good idea. We went up Starvation Creek cut-off, and the trail was uneventful. We made fantastic progress coming down to about 2,500'. There was a looooong section of deadfall crawl. My cousin now hates me. Hopefully your legs are longer than mine and you can step over that more easily. We went from ahead of schedule to racing the dark. Quote
