Lots of snow is still lingering in the area. There were substantial patches on the road and on the lower part of the trail. Above 4000' on the traverse around the north side of the summit, the snow became the rule rather than the exception. The boulder field on the west side of the summit was mostly covered in snow, soft enough for good steps, but not so soft that snowshoes were necessary. The good snow conditions made the traverse across the boulder field easy. The trail between the boulder field and the summit trail junction was mostly melted out, as was the summit trail. On the summit, clouds hid the major Cascade stratovolcanos, but we were able to spot distant Three Fingered Jack and Mt. Washington.
