Hiked from Cloud Cap to Elk Meadows. Both Elliott and Coe crossings were over knee deep and raging when I crossed in late afternoon and were on the edge of my comfort zone. Still early in the season so there are some downed trees and the occasional snow bank to navigate, but no real issues. Mosquitoes were very minimal and only made a brief appearance at dusk/dawn. Took a brief detour on the return trip to follow an old trail up along the eastern ridge of the Coe Glacier, but was running low on water and energy so I didn't explore as far as I would have liked.
