| Water Crossing Notes: |
It was raining on the way up. On the way down all crossing had tripled or more in size. Pretty nerve racking. All snow bridges were underwater, water everywhere was pea soup colored, things really went from tame to dangerous quick! Snow bridges won't be back and safely intact this year after this. |

| Comments: |
Wow, one of the water crossings was over a pool some 5+ feet deep with a real iffy snow bridge. It didn't look bad until looking back from the opposite bank. Lots of deep postholes from top to bottom. Lots of snowshoes postholes from stepping off of monorail, too. Ugly conditions. |
