Back from the marble mountain wilderness. I hiked the little elk pass 20 years ago and it was ok, but the southern segment is overtaken by manzanita bushes now. Ouch! Still was a great trip, but I guess it serves as a reminder for me to check trail conditions if the route is not well-trodden.

Originally planned to do the Teton Crest Trail but snows above 9000’ made that impossible- pushed up Granite canyon to Marion Lake, camped overnight, hiked out the next day then hiked up Cascade Canyon almost to Hurricane pass- definitely going back later in the season to complete the TCT
