We did Robinson Mountain with an overnight at the tarn on the way out. A few notes on conditions:
- The road is still closed from Monument Creek trailhead. That said, it seems like it could open again at any moment, as the road was freshly-graded and buttery smooth all the way to the Robinson Creek trailhead, with staffers working at the trailhead.
- Robinson Creek trail is in great shape, with the exception of some brushiness right before the Beauty Creek trail. The stream at 2 mi from trailhead is flowing.
- Beauty Creek trail is in ok shape, though there are 5-6 blow downs of sizeable logs in the first quarter that require some committed straddling.
- Climbers trail from Beaty Creek trail to the tarn is pretty easy to follow, only disappearing in the the last 100 yards.
- The main tarn campsite is snow free though there is still a fair amount of snow at the tarn. Plenty of water in the tarn + the outflow.
- Few mosquitos but many flies at the tarn in the evening. Fortunately, while they swarmed annoyingly, they did not bite.
