 | Water Crossing Notes: |
You can skip the first two river crossings by continuing along the east riverbank (staying left). For the third river crossing, we followed others' footsteps further upriver until we reached two trees that had fallen across the river -- you can cross by walking on the lower tree and holding onto the upper tree. Climbing up on the other bank, you'll reach the trail again. |

 | Comments: |
The trail had a lovely dusting of snow with black ice underneath. Microspikes necessary. After how easy the first half of the trail is, the second half definitely picks up intensity! Glad we caught a glimpse of the views at the top before the clouds rolled back in. |
