 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All open and flowing high. The third water crossing before the elevation gain has rerouted itself to flow down the trail. You are walking up stream for a while before you come to the crossing. There are several spots on the upper trails that are free flowing as if they are water crossings but it's just run off. Crazy water conditions. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
None. A few walk around blow downs. Not sure what can be done about the water crossing that has routed itself down the trail. |
|

Isis had a great day until the monorail started crashing and I decided to turn back. She is happily sleeping now and completely filthy. |

 | Comments: |
Hard spring conditions. See trip blog for full report. Ice starts at 2200 feet and increases as you climb. Monorail is complete garbage and flowing water underneath it makes for a tricky time. We turned back at 3600 feet due to exhaustion. |
