 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Followed a bushwacked trail, at the first large water crossing, which led to a bridge. I crossed the second by precariously hopping on ice covered rocks. On my way down, I was getting ready to cross this stream again, and a couple of hikers told me about another bridge 50yrds downstream, which I happily bushwacked to and crossed. I'm curious as to why the trail doesn't utilize these bridges. |
