The Crowley Cabin provided shelter. We had to be layered inside as well, and it got bitterly cold when the sun down even though the winter was mild. I can't imagine what it was like for the snow survey team when the avalanche hit.
Although snow on the valley floor was meager and melting fast, we were able to hike up to find an abundance.
The trail was at times heavily wooded and offered new perspectives on the mountains on the eastern side of the valley.
