I just hiked this yesterday and the route is now clear of snow; only a very few damp spots; several fallen logs near Forbidden end. Dry. Mostly easy travelling.
If you are interested, please let me know:
– if you would be willing to carpool/give rides from the Raven Lodge back to Forbidden and vice versa.
