 | Water Crossing Notes: |
We used the Engine Hill Bushwack and skipped the 3rd and 4th crossings. On the 5th crossing there were no issues. Early (3/4) in the crossings the water seemed to be flowing well and possibly not ice bridged in areas so use caution if you stick to the trail. |

Several blow downs on Rocky Branch and Isolation Trail - all manageable. |

An enjoyable day out - everything is in great snowshoeing shape. The Engine Hill bushwack as well as tent site bushwack were in great shape. The summit was very calm and clear (annoyed we had to reschedule our Presi Traverse because of work at 6pm tonight). We had amazing views! On the way out we ran into Georg, wonderful to see you! Hope the rest of your hike was enjoyable! We kept our snowshoes on the majority of the time. On the way out we decided to take them off and try out our butt sleds since the snow tomorrow would cover any tracks if it didn't go well... Overall an excellent day (we just missed our 5 hour mark, but still made it to Peaches for lunch!)- thank you to everyone who has been packing out the trails! |
