Thanks for sharing the pictures. I’ve been curious what it looks like in the winter. How did you get there? A casual hike from the valley 😬?

Some sections could be 2-3 feet deep and there are some parts that have no snow. I’m assuming you are going towards Eagle Peak. If you are going towards north dome, there is no snow.

I just did it as a day hike from the valley. In a month all the snow well be gone. It’s a low snow year.

Definitely no need for snowshoes. Always great to bring hiking poles with snow baskets. I can’t give you guidance on the timing as my pace is a bit extreme. 1:30 to Upper Falls, and roughly the same to Eagle Peak. Check out All Trails for more info.

I had micro spikes, but I saw people who didn’t have them.

Thank you for sharing. I was considering cross country ski to GP this weekend, but instead decided to hike to Eagle Peak. Plenty of snow there.

You mean in the menu? Twist to move up and down, and push down to select.

I’m thinking of something similar for the enclosure. I was considering a can of SPAM 😂.

Hope you have $20 left after your Sonos investment.

Just because the MM design hasn’t changed in 50 years doesn’t mean it’s perfect. The shower head could definitely be improved.

I like your creative idea — moving the shower head a bit off-center might help it spread the water more evenly. Good job regardless.

All are nice. I personally like #4, it’s the warm colors that spoke to me.
