Crossings down below were higher than normal but no problem getting over rock hopping. |

First part of the Mt. Coe trail is closed in with spruce. We got wet. |

 | Comments: |
Rain in the morning. Did not hike the Coe Slide, instead went the back way after reports of slick slabs and running water on the slide. Longer but it gave us a better chance of getting the peaks bagged. Not much view until the end. Allow an hour to go up and back on the South Brother spur due to the rock scrambles. |
