We are wanting to make a trip to Olympic National Park in early June. How much snow should we expect trying to get to Anderson Glacier then, (just normal year conditions)

I really wanted to go later in the year but due to school and work we just can't make it then. We are good hikers with some snow experience. We want to make a coastal hike/camp then 3 day trip to Anderson Glacier. Don't have a ton of time and this is the first time we have been in that area.

There is no Anderson Glacier. It vanished in 2015. See https://glacierchange.wordpress.com...cier-olympic-mountains-washington-disappears/ -- or -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Glacier
