Palisades Glacier Intel?

Post by Bernard »

Fellow Members of HST,

I will soon be doing a 2 nighter up in the region of the glacier and welcome any tips especially pertaining to temperatures. I realize that there can be all sorts of fluke conditions ... but, well, as best as you possibly can. Anything else is appreciated and welcome. Flower xyz is in bloom, the marmots are unusually annoying etc.

Thanks!
Bernard

You can check a specific weather forecast by the NWS for any spot on the map. For example, here is the forecast for 5th Lake, which was my base camp the year I did Palisades Glacier:
