 | Water Crossing Notes: |
There is a trail relocation for the first water crossing. The bog boards washed out. It's kind of hard to spot, but turn left on Crawford crossing (orange flagging)just before the Davis Path sign near the crossing. Follow the faded yellow (looks white) flagging until you get to the opposite side of the crossing. Other two crossings were rock hoppable. |

 | Comments: |
Snow was wet and slushy on lower 1.5. higher up it became powder, increasing in depth as we climbed. I sink about 2' in the deepest sections. We had peak bagging aspirations, but it was completely unbroken, so our hike was relatively short. Mother Rush'ya and I were surprised how much snow there was in the summit area. Overall a delightfully isolated day, were we probably got our last good trailbreaking in for the season. It was absolutely gorgeous above the first view.
As we were finishing, a couple of barebooters were coming to destroying our art. 1 had snowshoes on pack. I doubt it was possible to summit without them. |
