Anyone know how the glacier is looking right now? Want to go up and make some turns this weekend. Having trouble finding a site with the current conditions. Any info would be much appreciated.

was around Idaho springs last weekend. hiked up halfway up the trail but didn't go to the glacier. Think it should be pretty good though.

I was up there on Saturday. It was very ok, but what else can you expect in August? It was very sun cupped/rutted and pretty hard. The run is about half a mile of continuous snow. It was worth it to go get a run in to say I did.

I was there last Saturday. About what you'd expect in late August. Snow is super dirty and runneled/suncupped. But the hike is short so it's definitely worth it for the experience.


about halfway down



right on the edge of the steep section near the bottom and the lake

My buddy and I want to do a milky way photoshoot there Monday night so I might be going back.
