6-mile dirt road to Fairy Lake Trailhead, gate closed at 4 miles due to snow up ahead so we hiked the last 2 miles. Snow on route from the start. Hiked up into snowy whiteout conditions at Sacagwea Pass, and also pretty windy at the summit. I'm sure the view is incredible, but all we could see was white! Made it a pretty epic hike though and we had a blast, even did some glissading back down the saddle.
