Re: Thousand island lake backpacking memorial weekend
The NOHRSC model is showing that the new snow should be mostly melted off by Saturday morning. Of course, there haven't been very good reports about the existing snow in that area recently. This weekend is calling for nicer weather and good temps.cahikr wrote:My plans are still on for a Friday morning start, although looking at the mammoth web cams it is presently snowing as I write this.

Re: Thousand island lake backpacking memorial weekend
I was just out at Iva Bell Hotsprings this past week. Rode our bikes down since the road is closed till this weekend(Friday). Super nice down that way.....green, warm and good water flow but nothing too crazy for this time of year. Some mosquitos were out and about. On our way out we were looking at the High Trail and it looks pretty clear until maybe you get closer to Thousand Island. I am sure it is still patchy in spots, etc. amongst the pine forest. Either choice will be great. Supposed to be warm this weekend and the new snow should be melted off.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I did not find them. I ended up hiking out to Puppet Pass and back to Piute TH in a day to look. No dice but the terrain all looks the same so either they are there somewhere or someone picked them up. I noticed a couple boot tracks in the vicinity from that prior week so who knows.

Wow, that is surprising re: 1000 island.
I'm having a heck of a time determining which east side trailhead I want to shoot for this weekend.
