That's pretty much the extent of my usual scanning during these types of things. If you're making the trek up here two bits of advice:
1) Don't.
2) Bring a scanner, fill up on gas, make sure your 3a membership is up to date, pack yer chains, and reconsider the trek. If you still have to make the trek, make sure you have those freqs programmed, along with the usual ham frequencies (believe me, their advice comes in handy) and have fun!
It's Baaaaaad.
