Discussion:
You may notice that Roger has kindly created a link for the above guide, as a placeholder, in advance of it being available. The full guide is not immediately imminent, but it is close. Maybe not before the end of the season though, we will see (both the season and the guide). It’s likely to be available as two parts:
1) the complete guide;
2) a separated out route map and descriptions, for a smaller field useable download.
The link is on the main page just below the “weather reports” link.
Thanks Roger!
Meadows await.
Also with “snowfa” building and “insta-couch” instructions.

Thank you both - I am waiting with bated breath!
I can't believe I haven't been anywhere near Elk Pass yet this season, really must do something about that......

Morning D,
Yeh, not sure I will get a chance to return this season unless it cools off and there is some fresh snow. It may be a sticky affair in the meadows without a broken trail. You might get lucky if hut goers have been keeping a trail open in west elk pass (they seem to have been travelling that route more this season, perhaps due to improved route descriptions by ACC). Otherwise, looks like hiking weather in the foothills.

Thanks Jeff, you are too kind. But I appreciate the nod. See you and Erin on a snowfa next season maybe. However, there may be a brief window for reasonable travel in the area Tuesday and Wednesday before things heat up again after some fresh snow the last couple days.

You're very welcome, MaSid
I know everyone is on pins & needles to see the Elk Pass Touring guide.
