Trail Conditions

I guided a great group up to Stanley Glacier. Nice to finally see some sky, not so nice to see snow! Temps were cool but pleasant. Surprisingly the trail was not too busy. We met a curious Pika on the trail (Ochotona princep) and it was obvious that people have been feeding it ๐Ÿ‘Ž. Also, picked up a bunch of discarded TP! If you canโ€™t pack out your toilet paper after you pee or take a sh*t in the backcountry, you DO NOT belong in the backcountry (sorry for the rant)!! Interesting that we only saw a few berry bushes. All in all a great trip.
