Comments
Comments: We did the loop clock-wide. All three summits had really nice views. Most of the intersections on the ridge between Shaw and Black Snout were clearly marked.
Blue Tr intersects Black Snout Tr at a small cairn back a little bit from the summit of Black Snout.
Italian Tr intersects the Blue Tr about 0.3 miles below the summit of Big Ball Tate.
I added the Italian Tr to OSM. http://osm.org/go/ZfYmXEG0?layers=G&m=
