 | Comments: |
We headed up the herd path but soon lost it. I would suggest heading up into the col between East and West Elephant (on the western side of it) and catching the herd path attacking West Elephant from the East. I went straight at the peak and ran into some significant spruce bands near the summit. Fun hike with John C. |
