Happy to report that I got a hike in early September. Cue the dancing banana. :arrow: Their elevation numbers are a surprise, though. I thought that the gain to Ptarmigan Tunnel was 2300 ft., and the gain to Chief Mtn. Trailhead was 600 ft. Oopsie, gonna need to eat my Wheaties. ENTER - ICEBERG/PTAR...

Can someone pls provide a link to the page where i can see which sites are still available on various nights? Thanks! David I use this link, and click on the campground that I'm interested in.

Hi Sue, So we followed the lake shore toward Ahern pass for awhile. There is a faint trail to follow there. The first part of trail is overgrown and is requires bush wacking.

It was filled with hidden rodent holes and was also very slippery. I knew it was a not a good choice beforehand but went along with it anyway. Tha...
