 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Major crossing two miles in looks like there are spots to rock hop above and below the normal crossing. I didn’t care to look for a spot to cross without getting wet and was able to act like I was fjording the river on The Oregon Trail and only get wet to my knees. Water felt good. Crossings on stream further up could be navigated without getting wet as it was only an inch or two of water flowing. |

A few leaners in between the peaks. |

|
 | Bugs: |
Black flies were out in full force about 3/10 mile before North Twin Peak and South Twin Peak. Not biting, just looking to get into your face. |

 | Comments: |
Have seen recent reports, mostly on AllTrails, that talks about crossing the river 3-5 times. Stay left for the first two miles from North Twin Trailhead and you only have to cross it once. Second mile from trailhead to the river is slippery in spots but nothing to be concerned about. Mud first appears after steep section heading up to North Twin and stays until getting to the col between the two peaks. Some spots are easy to navigate and some require tiptoeing on rocks. No real water on the trail with the exception of the next mile or so after the river crossing going up to North Twin from the trailhead. It was minor today and even though some of the rocks were wet in this section, it didn’t impede travel. Blue skies and Canadian wildfire smoke at the top of South Twin. |
