Green Mountain and Chickaree Lake 10313' 6/26/12
Another one my brother had been eying, but this time I get to claim eying it first. I had originally planned to snowshoe it one day while we had some extended family skiing in Winter Park, but in the end I chickened out and explored the Shadow Mountain area. This time there weren't no foolin around.
We parked at Onahu TH, hustled down to Green Mtn TH and over to Big Meadows where we headed south a bit to cut up on the ridge leading up Green. Pretty straightforward, short climbing to the summit with some obstructed views in each direction. We had decided to make a loop out of the whole area and cut over to Onahu Creek and over to the medium sized, pretty Chickaree Lake and back down.
