Big Creek Camp to Mount Ellinor Upper TH Almost


2,320 elevation gain and 10 miles. That's a 19 on the hike difficulty calculator . I'm tired and sore but feel good. It was very good for me to get 6 hours all to myself. Six hours of just me and the trail, trees, rain and snow. I really needed this mental break. It's been quite a while since I've had a good hike and I was starting to get out of shape.

The snow was blowing sideways near the upper trail head and the days are getting shorter so I turned around one quarter of a mile (by air) before the upper trail head.

My track log and elevation chart are not the best because my GPS did not a have a signal much of the time.
