All streams are crossable, but I went off-trail to find a better crossing. The streams are pretty full and flowing rapidly; must be due to melting snow up above. |

 | Comments: |
I went clockwise. This had me going downhill on the trail at the northern end, where there's quite a lot of ice. I didn't trust my spikes on the steeper ice and circumvented it by going off-trail into the snow. It's probably better to go counterclockwise. Either way is doable, in any case. |
