10 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Was scouting out for a trip in the future. Trying to find closer approach than Bonneville. Started at Kidney Lake and was able to skip those boring ugly miles on the pCT, and use the nice bridge to cross Greenleaf Creek, but still had to contend with a long stretch of the Two Chiefs trail. Last mile before Greenleaf Creek was deep, wet snow, breaking trail tiresome! Blue Lake side approach better except for that creek crossing. New small landslide at the creek.
