 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Bypass the first two water crossings by staying on the East side(Left on your ascent) of Little River. This way you will only have to cross the river once. The crossing is challenging, but I found a spot about 50' downstream with partially submerged rocks that weren't covered with ice. |

A few blowdowns, half a dozen step overs and a duck under or two. Not much for blazes, but there is only one trail to follow. |

 | Comments: |
You might want to bring microspikes with you. I put mine on and took them off, then put them on and then took them off. In others words, there was a number of places that the trail was covered with flow ice, things were melting on my return. |
