 | Water Crossing Notes: |
1st crossing was too deep for rock hopping so we used sandals and another friend used garbage gaiters. Spirited water flow but not dangerous yet although that could change in the next few days. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
We removed a dozen blowdowns that had recently thawed from the melting snow and ice. There's still a few left that will require saws and more lift then I could provide. |

 | Comments: |
Surprisingly snow free! Other than an isolated patch of snow and ice on the Misery Mile there was nothing until about 3900'on the switchbacks. And the longest section was maybe 100' long, not too deep and either easily avoidable or soft enough to kick steps. No spikes needed for ascent or descent, although we carried them. |
