[pct-l] cascade locks-white pass hike

[Bob Bankhead]

Agreed. 

Hypothermia Ridge just north of the Packwood Glacier would NOT be a fun experience if snow and/or ice covered. One slip there and you are history! Ditto if you were forced to try the old PCT high route over the top of Old Snowy.

August is a nice month.

  The later the better this year.  I too live in WA, and have hiked  
  that section twice... It's a gem.    Late July into August the snow  
  might start melting!!!
