Took the Excelsior trail on Sunday. Snow was packed down by lots of travelers on the trail. In fact I never put on snowshoes until on the south arm below point 5712 at 5440+. From there I followed snowmobile tracks/skier tracks all the way until just below Peak 5930. Easy snowshoe up to 5930. I was racing to see if I could beat the oncoming weather from the south. Alas, I was 30 minutes late to the top. Light blowing snow and fog predominated. So....no photographs. On the way down around 4000 feet was a mix of snow...until 3500 where it was rain until back to the car. 6.5 hour round trip. A Subaru was smashed right on the North Fork Nooksack bridge just east of Glacier on my return. Several ambulances. Did not look good.

Art is an adventure.

Glad to see you got the high point on Peak 5930 as well. That whole ridge is fun to travel.
