A buddy and I have been wanting to get up this trail and decided to make the drive from Bellingham to check it out. We had a great time. The lower trail before it crosses the road was completely open but we got to impassible snow around 4600 feet. We will be back later this year to complete this trip.

Hear tell that the trail is clear now, and GHL is accessible. Ira and I are heading up Saturday, and will probably detour and hit Van Epps Pass trail as well. Hell I may even take my fly rig and get a line wet!
Thanks for the trip report! We were going to head up to GHL, but sounds like it's not quite open yet...
