Bullion Basin, Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) - Chinook Pass to Snoqualmie Pass — Wednesday, Jul. 13, 2022

I hiked Bullion Basin up to the PCT via the steep northern trail, south on the PCT for 3.5 miles and back, then down the southern Bullion Basin PCT connector. There is no snow on the steep northern Bullion Basin connector, a couple of easy flat snow patches on the southern connecter (and a large blowdown that I circled around on the downhill side), and 1 easy-to-go-above patch of snow on the PCT between the two connectors. There is no snow on the "lower" Bullion Basin trail up to the basin. There were a few patches of snow on the north-facing sections of the PCT I traveled on, none of these were challenging, most people, including my not so brave self, will have no need for traction (I had poles). The "most" angled slope can be seen in picture 4. Centerframe in picture 3 is Sourdough Gap, there is certainly some snow, but it is usually hike-able with this level of snow.
