9 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
We were supposed to do the Elk /King traverse, but had to curtail our plans. Large group and deep wet snow above 2200 ft slowed us considerably. We were breaking trail for most of the trip beyond Elk Mtn. Very surprised to see multiple avalanche debris fields on the way out. Forecast was iffy, so we were happy it turned out to be a dry day!
