On Saturday 03/26/2108 the Big Falls Parking Lot is clear and dry. The Vivian Creek Trail has no snow until Halfway Camp which has snow patches. After Halfway Camp the trail becomes icy and dangerous in the “shady switchback areas” before High Creek Camp. Microspikes work well but there is a lot of areas with no snow on the trail. At High Creek Camp and beyond is completely cover with snow which has a icy hard crust and makes it difficult to travel.
The last storm had a lot of rain and the cold night temps have created icy condition until we start getting warming temps this week.
Here is a picture of High Creek at the crossing.

Here is a picture just before High Creek Camp.

Be safe when enjoy the beautiful scenery.
