vaalanche pass trip
Hi guys and gals.
Hoping to get into and out of avalanche pass this coming weekend. i have done the trip in late fall to Beaver Pt. Lean-to. I Was wondering te expected time it should take average hikers with average winter packs, in snowshoes, to get to Beaver Pt this time of year. From the previous posts, it appears that crossing the lake may not be a safe idea.
We are planing on going in Friday am, and coming out, via Marcy Dam Saturday. We have considered a thru hike to Upper Works, if we can get picked up. is that a doable thru trip in one overnite?
any other suggestions? If Beaver Pt. is a little far, what are the odds of getting a lean-to at any of the Avalanche Camp lean-tos on a Friday afternoon?
BTW, i am typing now, because the Giant game is to PAINFUL to watch!!!
Thanks all...
