5-6 medium to small blowdowns along WRT between Mt Field and Mt Willey, closer to the Mt Field side, all easy stepovers; one big blowdown (in two pieces with lots of branches) I think was on the WRT between Mt Field and AZ /Mt Tom spur...looks fairly recent, side path developing through the brush. |

 | Comments: |
typical November mix of dusting of snow down low up to an inch or two up high; some ice / frozen mud down low, mostly avoidable with care using exposed rocks; lots of ice heading up Avalon all the way to the WRT junction and along the WRT between Field and AZ trail. Microspikes very helpful. |
