Comments
Comments: Herd path to avoid the first 2 crossings is easy to find and follow. Crossers were taking boots off. Trail obvious and easy to follow to South Twin. At 4600' there's a 4' step that is easy to get over then the trail is brushed about 6' wide most of the way to South Twin making for a most amazing hiking experience. Lots of fantastic views. Kudos to the folks maintaining these trails!
