Absolutely wonderful hike. The trail up ammonusic was hard packed powder with a new surface of about 4 inches of new snow. There were drifts along the way but manageable up the entire trip. Crawford path was hard packed and rock hopping with some drifting in places. Washington peak was stunning and easily manageble to climb. Gulfside was tricky to find but followed the cairns to jewell. Also followed the path of those that went before me. Jewell was rocky at the top. Below treeline is was smooth sailing. A clear 2 foot wide path, ran the whole way down. |
