Leroy Creek High Route

Hiked the Leroy Creek High Route loop hike(15 miles?) October 21st, 2006 with Scott and John. Scott went up Mt. Maude too while I waited down below (I was just up there last year, and not as fast as Scott could go), and John turned and went up Mt. Carne and out the Carne trail. I later lost Scott on the trail running ahead, but luckily we all three eventually met up at the car!

There are a few movies of the scenery, and several at the end showing beta for the route (to help me remember for next time ~ I've done this how many times? Five? It's a favorite this time of year!). It is a bit tricky during parts where there are no trails or cairns.

(The movies just show up as thumbnails depending on the view, but they are movies, not pictures! Click on them to view).
