Early season conditions in effect!  Please stay off wet and muddy parts of the trail.  Hiking on these sections before they have time to dry out causes damage that lasts all season long.  Be patient!

Lake of the Hanging Glacier September 28, 2023

by summittrailmakerssociety@gmail.com | Nov 4, 2023 | Lake of the Hanging Glacier

The bridge over Hell Roaring Creek was taken out by a work crew on September 28.  It will be put back in late June or early July 2024.  Trying to cross without a bridge is extremely dangerous and can be life-threatening.

Jumbo Pass September 2, 2023

by summittrailmakerssociety@gmail.com | Oct 2, 2023 | Jumbo Pass

A grizzly encounter was reported near the pass.  The bear was chowing down on huckleberries and barely moved when he/she saw the hikers.  Make lots of noise and keep your dogs on a leash.
