I snowshoed it today. 4 miles, 300 ft. elevation gain. It was so beautiful up there today! The skies were completely clear and at the crest you had a perfect view of Three-Fingered Jack and The Sisters. A nice, easy walk to break in new snowshoes; the snow was well-packed and pretty easy to traverse. We wanted to go see Fish Lake, too, but we were tired and wanted to get back to civilization and have a big dinner. Next time.
