 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Lots of crossings, more water than I expected but all were EASILY rock-hopped. The hidden stream crossing had zero water above it. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One crawl-under between the peaks, no big deal. Trails are in good shape. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Easy dog hike, and plenty of water too except for the loop. We carried extra water for that portion. Saw two other pups today. |
|
 | Bugs: |
NOT ONE--even down low with all the crossings, nothing "bugged" us. |

 | Comments: |
Passed-by over 20 hikers today. This was my first time going clockwise around the loop, have always gone counter-clockwise. But both trails to the summits are covered with scree so its a toss-up to which one is better to descend this time of year. |
