 | Comments: |
The trail below the junction stinks. It’s a mix of icy rock, slush, mud, bare rock. It was warm today so the melting made it worse. The small section beyond the junction to the water is not well broken out. I used snowshoes down and back but someone else bare booted and it’s blah. Sorry I don’t have more for the higher elevations. I hit elephant head spur on the way out, it’s not well broken out. |
