Playing in the snow!
Trialbyfire's group and My brother and I, made it all the way to Grizzly Lake. it was a pretty crazy trail. Once we got there, they went back down and we climbed (not hiked) to the peak of the mountain along the lake. We made the climb to the peak up and back in 4 hours and 15 min. It was a butt kicker to say the least, but we made it up and back with no injurys.
Here are a few of the "Jeep portion" of the climb. I am glad Trailbyfire was there to vouch for how steep and rugged this was. The harsh winter seems to have really ripped the trail up.
