Glad that it is still useful! Current road conditions are that there is snow too deep on the road from about the Burgess Mine to the Tram cabin. I can only imagine that the other direction is similar back to Cerro gordo.

No plans just yet since the snow is blocking the roads.

Great write up, didn't know so much was there. We did the trail from Cerro Gordo to New York Butte to Swansea in fall 2008. Had lunch at the summit station. You all are part mountain goat, some serious hiking there.
Thank you for all this wonderful detail.

Weather on top.....
I was also up there 3 weeks before. I believe I was the first one to drive up from the Cerro Gordo side from the snow drifts I had to get through.
This weather this trip was windy and cooler, If it wasn't for the wind, sweaters would of been enough. We spent the night at Papoose Flats and it snowed on us that evening, nothing stuck, but it was still a bit cooler than we expected.
Thanks,
