Timberline Lake hike draws attention amid thin early snow
Original: 2970m Timberline Lake fairly popular hike warm season. Starts 2330m W-Fork Canyon, then up side gulch. First 6K in 8000h
A hiker describes the popular warm-season route to Timberline Lake at 2,970 metres, which begins at 2,330 metres in West Fork Canyon and climbs a side gulch through the burn area left by the 2008 Cascade fire. They report only 3-5 centimetres of snow on shaded trail sections and suggest the landscape looks better with snow cover.
Why now: Snow conditions and fire-scarred terrain are being discussed as winter sets in on regional trails
