There are just 2 very small snow patches near the top that are easy to cross. These patches should be melted out in a week or so. On a clear day you can see 5 volcanic mountains: to the south Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and Mt. St. Helens. To the north was Glacier Peak. There were some clouds to the northwest so we could not see Mt. Baker.
