Finally made the trek up to Snow Lake on this wilderness superhighway. Amazed to see 80 or so cars at the TH parking lot on this Wed am... with more rolling in all the time. Never underestimate how seriously Washingtonians take this stuff! Completely socked in on the ascent; finally started to burn off as we made it to Gem Lake. Contemplated heading over to Mt Roosevelt but only had a 4 hr window so opted for Wright. Found the path very easily up from Gem Lake, an easy route past several tarns and up over some talus. Great summit perch with exceptional views in all directions. Would love to explore deeper into this limitless wilderness in the future.
