I love to hunt the Tatoosh though I haven't done it for awhile. It is demanding hiking and packing, but very productive. Park at either trailhead and hike into and above the snowline. If you can get to about the 4400 level off the Cannon Rd. TH, there are some nice benches in there to hang up on. If you go up from the Butter Creek TH, and can get to a trail marked "Trail Abandoned," take that trail across the basin-do it slowly and out to a big hillside over the next drainage and hang out there-that's about 5200 feet. Sounds like the snow line will be below that by the weekend of the season, so they'll be pushed more to the Cannon Rd side in that case.
