If parking appears to be an issue at either the Deer Creek trailhead or Owyhigh lakes trail head the backup plan is to go explore the Chinook pass area, Tahtlum peak is one possibility.

Participants should have been doing something to stay in shape during our extended Scramble vacation.  If you have not been staying physically active in some way please do not make this your first outing for the year.
