McClellan Butte 2009-07-19


We went back to McClellan Butte today. It was sunny with refreshing breeze at times, and the trail was mostly clear of snow and debris. There was no land slide or washouts. Last year, snow was many feet high through August. This year seems to be in El NiƱo.

We did come across a few patches of snow in the west side of the mountain.

We went through a snow tunnel in one of the snow chutes.

We made it to the Scramble.

Blue wanted to climb up, but I didn't want to crawl on hands and feet.

We instead inspected the rough rocky terrain and found a shady spot for lunch.
