Leader's notes

You will not need water shoes for the creek crossing, the creek is very low and there are plenty of rocks, my trip report from fall 2020 has a photo of the stream crossing https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report-2020-09-21-9326637402

We will go up the trail to Alaska Lake for a short distance.
