it was a bit tricky to follow the guide book to find the trailhead, the guide book is over 10yrs old now and things aren't the same as they were..

this was the first of 4 river crossings, they where all suppose to have bridges, but no evidence of any bridge could be found nowadays...

smaller and fun on the bike

finally hit snow and was able to catch the first glimpse of the route ahead. The snow stopped me about 1/2 from the trailhead. Not bad at all
