A multi-day backpack trip from the North Fork Trailhead to Elip Creek, Three Prune and Three Lakes.
LOTS of downed trees - stopped counting after 30. Snow at the top of the mountain and difficult to find the trail again. Never did find Three Prunes campsite! Didn't see a single person on the trail after the first morning and did not see any wildlife.
Bridge near North Fork Big Creek must have been hit by trees during the winter because it was tilted about 45 degrees.
Broke my wrist on day 2 of the hike, but still had a great time!
