Arrived at the Missouri Gulch TH around 6 pm Tuesday evening (08/11/2020). Camped at a great spot about 1/4 mile on down 390 on the right (north) side of 390. Got to the Missouri Gulch TH at 4:30 am. Approximately 10 cars were already there. Despite this, there were very few people on the trail and summits of Mt. Belford (we were there alone around 8 am) and Mt. Oxford (probably 5 people total). Conditions were excellent. Be careful on the descents (from Mt. Belford to Mt. Oxford and back to Mt. Belford; and down from Mt. Belford to the junction to Missouri Mountain). I used poles and was very glad I had them.
