Calloway Trail #33

Always fun to check out new ways to access fabulous West Clear Creek, although how Joe finds these obscurities I'll never know. Dropped down Calloway #33, thrashed upstream about a mile and climbed 600' directly up the ridge to the north rim and Snake Tank. Never saw anything I'd call a trail, just a relatively moderate (by WCC standards) scramble up the loose, grassy slope. Elk were drinking at the tank, and it was very cool to see a family of elusive otters down in the creek.
