Route recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX

Wally and I started from the Cross F TH a little after 6:30am. We hiked down to where we left off in May '23, which was only a half mile from the junction with Little Saddle. Then we headed back north and hiked just to just beyond the Potato Patch. We took the trail to the Potato Patch and checked that out. Looks like it would be a nice camping area.

Weather was pretty cold to start, very windy at the TH. Once we were moving, it was comfortable. The sun got things even warmer once it hit, but I was still able to keep my sweatshirt on the entire time. Very sunny the whole time, which made for decent pictures.

Saw 3 other hikers total, all southbound, all backpackers. No wildlife.

Checked the route with the one from a hike 15+ years ago and it looks like one area was rerouted just a bit, so redoing this area was worth it to keep up to date.
