Report Information

Observation Summary

We could see signs of a couple of avalanches from our turn around location on the east slopes of Mt. Hope

Route Description

We hiked from Sheep Gulch TH on CR390 towards Hope Pass. Got 1.5 miles up the trail before stopping as the snow was very desiccated and post holing would have been horrible.
