Here is our snowy ascent and 2 night camp on Black Butte from a few years ago:    • Backpacking Idaho's GospelHump Wilde...  

Late March / Early April

This was an attempt to go past the Black Butte Junction to Sheep Creek but I forgot to pack gaiters and the snow got deep and our feet started to freeze in the poor weather so we back tracked and camped at Chittam Creek and awakened to fresh snow.

Despite the snow I should note that this is a very low snow year.
