The road to the Grizzly Gulch/Silver Creek trailhead is clear of snow and dry. The Silver Creek trail is virtually clear of snow until you start to reach the upper basin. There are about 3 avy run outs that piled up snow that was solid and no post holing was experienced as late as noon. Overnight temp was 22.

At the trail marker (photo 3) keep a sharp eye out for the trail that heads up left to toward the summit. If you run into the snowfield (photo 3) you went too far. I suspect it may be a couple weeks before that snow is gone. The trail is hard to see when looking up and I missed it...ending up on the other side of the snowfield is loose talus...this cost me time and energy.

That was a pretty good climb. It was good chatting with you on the bottom and on the summit. It got really breezy going over to Sunshine, but all the snow was avoidable going over there. Did you end up doing San Louis?
