Lots of Snow ... still

[TrapperRon]

My brother and I decided to take a trip to see how the camp wintered the big snow (June 12th). The main road had been plowed all winter so we were able to drive to the turn off. That's where the Sunday drive ended.

Last year at the end of May my wife and I walked in from where the first picture was taken, just patches here and there but too much to drive in. On the North side of the cabin where the snow slides off the roof there is a big snow bank there up until first week in July and works well as a cooler. This year it may still be there mid July.


Trail to camp June 12 th.



Snow in the bush still.



Damfino Creek running high water but is always nice clear water.

after last week with the 100+ days, this "seems" refreshing!

I see from the govt graphs that the rivers are starting to come down, my river is the Skeena. If it gets warm out will the river come way up again and start flooding? Perhaps you are quite familiar with the Skeena and kinow that if the river depth is over 6 metres at Usk, the river is basically unfishable.

I usually go there for July 7, but I hear there was piles of snow last winter. If you say there is still lots out there, is there still a good chance that the river will be flooding/dirty by then?

Most of BC's main rivers are still running high and muddy. The 7th of July is still three weeks away so not sure what they will be like by then.

Best to contact the locals neat that time for a report on river conditions.
