| Water Crossing Notes: |
Water crossings were high but not dangerous. Just hard to find rocks. I polled a few hiker. 50% said easy. 50% said they were hiking with wet feet. I was hiking with one wet foot. We took boots off to cross one because it was easier than trying to stay dry. |

| Comments: |
Well, they say to wait for flume slide to dry. They are right. It is not easy at all when wet. This is my second hike up the slide. Last time was hard but manageable. This was realty tough. Set the record for slowest mile ever hiked. Peaks were amazing as always. Avoidable snow/ice between Flume and Liberty except one spot where we walked across. No traction needed. |
