Crossings were signficant. I would avoid anything on this route until mid-April,since there is significant snow and the ice bridges will be non-existent |

A blowdown here and there. Much (most?) is in Wilderness Area, and you will need to do some route finding and stay on your toes until the ground is bare. |

 | Comments: |
There is still a lot of snow. Almost enough to wear snow shoes, but not quite. So we sank...a lot. There are many crossings, and all were doable, but in the next two weeks I suspect the flooding from the snow melt might change that. Until mid-April, do yourself a favor and hike elsewhere until the trails melt off and the water levels go down. |
