    Tips

    July 11, 2023

    It could be argued that the majority of the trail leading up to Mount Princeton is a boulder field, but this section of the trail is especially full of talus hopping. The upper part of the trail is slightly less rocky, but it becomes much steeper and sandier.



    This is a slow-going part of the trail; look for big rocks with lichen and stick to the known paths. Aim to keep close to the ridge proper for the best footing, and check to make sure you are not straying onto a spur trail too far into the basin.
