5/19/2024 Route: Lulu Gulch 13er Loop Posted On: 5/19/2024, By: d_baker Info: Parked few hundred yards short of where road turns to 4x4 in Winfield. Continuous snow from Lulu Gulch gate to summit. We didn't do the loop, only 13,471. Snow mostly supportive along road on ascent and descent. We used snowshoes from gate to base of ascent gully, for approach and de-proach. Crampons in gully for ascent and descent. We went up a gully to climber right of the descent gully as described here on this site for the Lulu Loop route. Good snow all the way to the summit. Punchy in places but overall good for climbing. |

9/11/2022 Route: Lulu Gulch 13er Loop Posted On: 9/12/2022, By: kwhit24 Info: We parked around 10.300' and started hiking up the 4WD road. We turned off after about .3' of a mile when we came to the gated road on our left. The old mining road follows a bunch of switchbacks to 3200' below Middle Mtn B. From there the rest of the rout is pretty clear. Follow the ridgeline to PT 13462 and Browns Pk. From Browns follow a faint trail that traverses to the saddle for Huron Pk. Up to this point everything is Class 1 but this portion involves some talus hoping along a easy slope. Once at the saddle just follow the standard trail for Huron up and back down to the car (11.39 mi; 4,330' gain; 5:46:53 total time) Start at West Winfield TH 7:15am; Middle Mtn B 9:10am; PT 13462 9:40am; Browns Pk 10:05am; Huron Pk 11:00am; Upper 4WD TH 12:30pm; Back to car at Lower TH 1:00pm |

6/10/2020 Route: Lulu Gulch 13er Loop Posted On: 6/10/2020, By: Flyingfish Info: Essentially dry to the summit. The decent of Browns is pretty snowy with a lot of snow still on the east face and the bowl above the decent gully. |

7/30/2019 Route: Lulu Gulch 13er Loop Posted On: 7/30/2019, By: IHikeLikeAGirl Info: Summer conditions. "Road" going up Middle Mtn, is more of a goat trail in spots. Scree and talus have made the trail quite thin at times. Many thanks to the persons who went up on the 27th and 28th (according to the register), was nice to have some solid footprints to follow. :) |
