Two of the crossings were pretty risky. Unless you have long legs your feet will get wet on the first. Second crossing I was able to hike up to where it was bridged with snow but that had other challenges...deep snow, spruce traps, etc. |

 | Comments: |
A normally easy, hike was super challenging due to trail conditions. Monorail was very narrow and I was postholing even in snowshoes at times. I would avoid this one until water levels come down. |
