Our staff were up at Camp Schurman and the Emmons Flats last week for some project work and checking on high camps. The upper mountain has a thinner snowpack than this time last year. Conditions this last week were spring like with sticky conditions in lower elevations and a mixture of breakable and supportable layers in higher elevations. For a comparison of the Emmons-Winthrop from last year, check out this blog post from June 1st 2022.

The road to the White River Campground is currently closed for plowing and is estimated to open around May 26th. The campground itself is estimated to be open for camping around June 23rd.
On the Muir side, independent climbing parties are starting to trickle in, and there have been reports of some guided parties summiting on the Ingraham Direct. We hope to see you visiting the park soon!
