chicagoan, pictures would be great. Is there a lot of snow on the switchbacks up to the top of NAP? What about the area past NAP to the summit of Mt Langley?

I will be attempting this hike on July 2, and I think you're the first report we're (or atleast I am) hearing of getting past NAP via Cottonwood Lakes trail this year, so I'm very interested in hearing as many details as you can provide (and photos would be awesome) smile
