Great day, tackled this first river crossing but using a log to get across. then bushwacked from 2nd crossing back to the trail on west side. Tired us out easily. Stay on east side and cross at third crossing (easiest). Beautiful day, great views. Planned on hitting South Twin, but didnt allow enough time and weather was coming in. |
