Winter conditions exist here at the camp and higher. Barr Trail is impossible to find from just below timberline to the summit.
Do not hike higher than you are willing to hike back down! There is no guarantee the train will be making it to the summit, or that there will be an empty seat. The toll road is rarely open to the summit this time of year. Check out our weather links for current forecasts, and be prepared!
