If you are on Fitbit that is over 510 flights of stairs climbed. Apple has me at 57,000 steps.
We left Paradise Valley before 6:00. Ended up having to walk the full stretch to the trailhead but we did not try to hitch either.
Trail and weather reports look like a hike down to Idlewild then cross town and back up and over. Some people are doing great, others are having to self arrest with their snow axes and having collapsed melting snow.
Otherwise the trail is short on water. Even with half an inch of rain yesterday and some today.
On the other hand, while I had to cross blow downs and .6 miles round trip or so, the boxed spring had water I could carry back to where our tent is.
Bagels and cream cheese for dinner. With water.
Saddle Junction is 10.2 miles ahead and then it is the Devil’s Slide Trail down to Idlewild.
