Field to below Amiskwi Pass – 23.3 miles
This section of the GDT from Field to the Crossing is full of brush, downed trees, and 2 sketchy creek crossings where the bridges are washed out. It is an area that has not maintained in many years. I have heard horror stories and will be glad when it is over.
The trek today was on a very old abandoned dirt road with years of brush growing over it. The mountains and valleys are quite nice with gentle terrain and some views of dramatic peaks. I think people would like to visit if a clearing could be made.
Why Not and I decided to hike longer today and camp at the top of Amiskwi Pass. Good plan, bad idea.
The top was a beautiful marsh filled with wildflowers annnnnnndddddd mosquitoes. A bizzilon.
We are now camped below the pass on an old dirt road and very happy about it.
Tomorrow are the creek crossings.

Great view from your diggs. That is what it is all about.
That is a lot of brush to navigate!!! Still had some great views tho.
I just wonder how you find the trail in the midst of all the brush? Glad you are safe and heading toward your goal. Just keep posting the beautiful photos.
