I headed up (late) for a hike up the New Army Pass Trail...
Couldn't cross the stream (without getting wet)...
So, I headed up to Cottonwood Lakes...
Tried to cross over to New Army Pass at the meadows, but again, was stopped by a stream crossing that would have required getting wet, so no approach to NAP...
Patches of snow to cross after reaching the meadow...
Essentially continuous snow at Lake Four...
My opinion: gear still required to get up Army Pass...
On the way down, I stopped to take a look at NAP and it appears that there is still a significant amount of snow up top...there also appeared to be "columns" of rock, so you might be able to zig-zag your way up over the top (just a guess)
There were quite a few people with big packs heading in the direction of Army Pass, so maybe there will be some reports soon...
I'll post a few photos tomorrow...
