Cottonwood Lakes
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:48 am
Hi all,
I'm bringing a couple of people in the Cottonwood Lakes basin next week. None of them have winter travel experience and they don't have crampons/iceaxe. We were planning on going over New Army Pass, but it looks like there is quite a bit of snow/ice lingering so we might just hangout by the Lakes. Anyone that has been up there, either towards New Army Pass or (old) Army Pass, how much snow did you encounter by the lakes, at what elevation does it completely covers the trail (if it does)?
Any info you have might help!
