Very cool report. When I did the HST last year, I passed by this creek and it occurred to me what a nice short cut it would be to Crabtree. It looked doable on the map and in real time, and I thought to myself, "I bet the rangers do this all the time." But I don't do much off trail, and I was solo, so I did not explore. Very interesting to see how it works. I am surprised there is not more use trail in there.
