I set my alarm clock for 2:45am after the moon had set. And luckily it was clear outside.

What was the snow like? What elevation? Heading up there next month....

There is very little snow. There are some spots left on the higher ridges but there is nothing on or even near the trail.

The picture is taken below Sheep Mountain which has a summit of approx 9800 feet. Looking at the picture I'm guessing the snow starts well above 8000 and is spotty at best. By the time you hit the trail there will be much less. The only reason snow would be an issue is if you climb the peaks in the area.
