Report

Ran the Grand Loop counter clockwise with a Moose Directissimo (instead of dropping into Grand Valley, stay high over Moose Peak). This variation is undoubtedly slower, with some exposed 3rd class scrambling and more elevation gain, but keeps you higher for longer and deserves mention as a valid variation on the loop. Peter Butler ran with me until Cameron Creek before turning back to Deer Park for a shorter variation, but I carried all my own stuff. Abundant water throughout! Took about 300 photos and a nice dip in the Grand Pass tarn. Wildflowers were stunning!
