Flower Ridge: Snow patches start just after the spring camping spot, solid snow before leaving the trees. Water available in melted snow puddle on the ridge, solid snow cover as far as could be seen appearing to be at least a metre deep.
Crest Mountain: Almost clear of snow just some patches on the plateau to the summit. Care should be taken crossing the bridge at the start at the narrows, as there is a very large wasp nest on the left handrail: Don't forget it will be on your right when coming back out.
Price Creek Trail: Heavy run-off at the creek crossing soon after leaving the old road, left at the signpost; care needed when crossing, also more than one bear seen in the area.
This info from Gerry Roberts, Strathcona Wilderness Institute director & volunteer operator of the Buttle Lake Information Hut, operated by SWI; as reported by visitors from the weekend of Aug. 5-7.
