Hiked from the Silver Creek TH via Redcloud. No snow on the trail and the trail is mostly dry with a few wet spots where the creek floods out of its banks, but one can rock hop over these areas to keep your feet dry.
Full summer conditions on the mountain. I descended from the saddle near Sunshine. It is all loose scree, gravel and talus from the saddle down into the basin so tread very carefully if you are with others. The climbers trail that descends this valley can be found at the bottom and takes you all the way back to the main trail with only a few short snow patches to cross.
