 | Comments: |
The Crawford Path is well broken and packed to the Eisenhower Loop, but I broke trail from the Mizpah Cutoff to the tentsite, then up to Pierce, before heading to Eisenhower.
Spent the night(Sunday) at the Nauman tentsite, then broke the Webster Cliff trail over to Jackson. Very deep powder along the Webster Cliff trail, with drifts of up to four feet. It was a lot of work with a full pack on. I was very happy to see that two others had summited Jackson the day before, so I had some tracks to follow on my way down. The trail to Webster had not been broken and neither had the trail from the lower junction. There had been more traffic to the Elephant Head, which is well packed. |
