There was some snow still left on the east facing ridges on the peak, it made a great plain snow cone treat

The road into Rockhouse Canyon is still a bit rough with a couple of really tight spots. most vehicles with good clearance and 4WD can make it to the end. My large truck though took a heavy hit this trip when I miscalculated one tight spot with a couple of large boulders on each side
