10 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Pretty wet day. Went up Two Chiefs Trail with the intent of hitting Greenleaf Peak, but knew I didn't have enough time so I hoped to explore Greenleaf Basin instead. Greenleaf Creek was raging and a crossing looked unappealing. Stayed on the west side of the creek and shwacked up steep muddy deer trails to the notch where Upper Greenleaf Falls cascades down. Saw a rope below me that I later learned was a more direct way up. I had been to the left of it on my ascent. Didn't get as far into the basin as I hoped due to wetness and time constraints. Snow level was around 2000 ft. Returned the way I came up.
