Report

Started at 4:50 AM at Harrison Pass and finished just before 2PM at Lamoille Canyon. Started with full packs and tried to front load water as much as possible knowing that the middle portion would be very dry. Filled up at McCutcheon Creek, Middle Fork of Smith Creek, Overland Lake and a few streams past. The trail is dry, but very runnable from mile 20 to the end. Found water again at mile 29-30 at a small trickle before Favre Lake runoff, where we filled up again before pushing through the last 7 miles without stops. Only a small amount of snow coming down Liberty Pass to Lamoille Canyon.
