12/5/2014 Route: From Kite Lake Posted On: 12/5/2014, By: Nelson Info: See my conditions report on Democrat. After I gave up on Democrat I went to Mt. Cameron. This is a straight forward easy hike from the Saddle. |

10/19/2013 Route: From Democrat (Kite Lake) Posted On: 10/19/2013, By: SaraMiller Info: Brutal. The wind was strong from the beginning at 7am...and all the way up. At summit, clear but wind was very strong. Drifts from saddle between Democrat and Cameron went up to 3 ft in some areas. The temp was around 20, but with the 60+ mph STEADY gusts for last half mile up, it was WELL BELOW ZERO. |

10/21/2012 Route: Kite Lake to saddle of Democrat & Cameron Posted On: 10/22/2012, By: gabsimonelouise Info: Minimal snow on trail going up Cameron from the saddle between Democrat and Cameron (the snow that is there is easily avoidable). Very pleasant at the top...no wind, just soaked in the warmth of the sun! |

5/27/2012 Route: From Kite Lake Posted On: 5/27/2012, By: krishcane Info: Mostly snow free, and the few snowy places were hardpacked and/or avoidable. We had microspikes in our packs and didn't bother to put them on. Some of the class two sections still have fairly loose rock and mud. |

12/17/2011 Route: From Mt Bross trail Posted On: 12/18/2011, By: wincoder Info: The trail from Mt Bross to Cameron has some snow in places but is easily passable without snow shoes. The East face of Cameron has a decent snow covering - enough to glissade down. Lots of bare sports making it an easy ascent. The trial from Cameron down towards Democrat is snow covered but not deep. I used micro-spikes all the way down. |
