The PCT climbs for several miles along the Chips Creek canyon, crossing many tributaries mostly along the northern (south facing) slow where the snow melts earlier. The water can be high in early summer after the snow melt, though it was fairly easy to find rocks and trees to keep the feet dry. Look for butterflies, which breed in the brush here and are attracted by the warmth of the rocks in early summer
