WA Pass hike

Sep 17, 2006

Our original objective was Silver Star Mountain but a combination of hip pain, non-optimal weather (some light hail), and our slow pace turned this into a simple hike. We followed a trail to the plateau below Burgundy Col at 6400’ and then went up a footpath on steep gravel to about 7400’. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground, certainly more than we had expected. We had a nice lunch at our turn-around spot and then hiked out.
