Comments
Comments: Another beautiful day for any hike above treeline. The path up Jewell, across the ridge, over the summits and down Valley way was so well packed and easy to follow; it was a sidewalk! Lots of ski tracks above and below the summits and in the Great Gulf. Great to meet Wayne who was doing a Presi traverse! Saw many groups of people along the way but had the summits all to ourselves. Thanks Kristy and Pemi for an epic adventure!

Note: there is an intersection once above treeline on the Jewell trail. Stay to the left for the Jefferson cut off, and stay on the trail (right) for Washington or towards Clay.
