Teewinot & Mt Owen from Cascade Canyon - 5/20/12
The snowpack in the high mountains continues to consolidate with wet slides still occurring on steep slopes during warm afternoons. The canyons generally have patchy snow low down that gradually turns into 100% snow cover in the upper reaches. As a reminder, Baxter's Pinnacle remains closed due to nesting raptors until further notice (see April post below).
