After an early September snow fall, the trail was clear of snow until Hartenstein Lake junction. Thereafter snow on the trail until breaking out of timber near top end. This trail is stingy on views except a couple in the middle section and then at the top. The redeeming view that made it better was heavily snow coated north face of Mt. Princeton.

Denny Creek to above Browns Pass
Hazy from fires in California and Oregon. Throat scratchy. Snow on North facing slopes but clear all the way to Brown’s Pass and only one couple encountered above turnoff to Hartenstein Lake. Saw and heard Pikas!
