Summary: 95%+ of the trail from Loveland Pass to Grizzly Peak (13427) is snow-free. Where the trail is covered in snow, it can be circumvented to the right (west) and snow is avoided entirely. Outbound: Descending from Cupid (13117), the south ridge trail has snow and rocks. These can be avoided by dropping down to the right (Cupid's west slopes). Inbound: Ascending Cupid, I took the partially snow-covered summer trail on the eastern slopes of Cupid.

ilikereds	Thanks 07/02/2019 14:35 Great update! Love this hike, did it over a month ago and periodically post-holed up to my hips. That last push up Grizzley is a beast! Great job!
ilikereds	Also 07/02/2019 14:36 You should also consider adding 13ers to your profile checklist, since you obviously have done at least two of them!
EMan	Thanks ilikereds 07/07/2019 17:45 for the tip......I will add 13ers to my profile checklist as you suggest. I've done all the 14ers, so I should probably update that checklist, too. (You're right, it does give fellow hikers an idea of the experience level of the poster). Congrats on your summit of Grizzly, post-holing and all!
