I had a very peaceful hike today to Upper Granite Lake. Only saw a total of five others on the trail.
The trail is in great condition. There's a dozen small creeks to cross, but nothing terrible. Hiking poles are handy for crossing. I hiked in trail runners and they stayed dry. The trail was snow free. Total hiking time is 3 hours r/t.
I found a small digital camera and I know exactly how it was lost. It was next to a pile of used toilet paper. First off that's just not right. Dig a hole and bury your #2's. Better yet use the toilet at the trailhead before you leave. I'm guessing the camara fell out of their dropped pants.

Such a bummer to run into the poo. Glad you posted the note here, to call it out as a reminder. Guessing the person won't be trying to retrieve their cam. Gross.
