We were unable to park at the trailhead so we hiked 4 miles to the trailhead and almost walked by it. As soon as we stepped on the trail I immediately sank up to my thighs in snow (3ft). After trekking threw that we came across a river that was flowing extremely rapidly with the boards meant to be a bridge ripped right out of there spots. We had to turn around and venture all the way back.
I guess bring a boat. |
