In a high snow year, Russell Creek might be tricky to cross. There is no suggested path to get from one side to the other, so you will have to scout what works best for you. It is considerably easier to cross in the morning than in the evening when the water level is way higher.

Hiking

This creek crossing can be challenging with heavy flow. Look for a flat rock shelf where the trail comes down to the creek. Cross carefully, and be sure to unbuckle your pack before starting across.
