Deep Snow
From the middle fork ATV trailhead to about 4200ft its nice and dry but then the shaded north face of the mountain there is still a lot of snow on the road way in a few different areas. We made it up to about 4300 ft, then decided to turn around. Jeeps 4 were coming down as we were going up, but we got to a point in the snow that there was no tracks from them. So they didnt even try. trying again in a week or so.
