 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Little River was raging! After about an hour of trying to find a spot to cross we were able to find a tree that was partially over the river and then was able to jimmy rig and dead tree to connect the two, was able to manage to get only one foot wet--once crossed we were able to bushwhack to North Twin Trail, powdery conditions and in broken. Two Gale River crossings were not nearly as bad and manageable.

 | Comments: |
Long, rough and rugged day. If crossing Little River--go south of main crossing and look for trees where you are able to use both to cross--on ther side is a obvious campsite...once crossed you can bushwhack to North Twin Trail. Saw first sign of life was on North Twin Spur. Rest of the trip was a breeze but wasted a fair amount of time looking for a crossing. |
