Hello,
I hope to do this loop mid May (http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=824847). I know the East side of Red Peak typically holds snow well into the summer, but this has been a unique year. Has anyone been in the Clark Range lately? Do you think microspikes will be sufficient to make my way or should I bring snowshoes? Finally - does this route have any water crossings that are likely to be impassable?
Sky Ranch road is listed as closed however the Ranger granting me permits did not seem concerned about the road to Quartz Mtn opening in the next 3 weeks. Does that sounds correct?
Thanks for any help you may give.
Happy trails,
Matt
