Lots of snow. Quad with tracks made it to the trailhead on
E branch.
Some deep steep snow to start. Snowshoes necessary.

| Mount Diadem toward the east. |
Lakes Alpha, Beta and Gamma all frozen as was the
waterfall. It's an early winter!

We saw a big bull elk, but did not get the picture. Lots of
rabbit tracks. |

| How do these trees tough it out? |
 |
| Paul: Got easier as we went up. |
 |
| Peter: Made the saddle and the smaller peak. |
 |
Very cold. Some great sun and views.
Given the amount of
snow this may be the last sub-alpine hike for a few months.
