Starting into Raspberry Creek is a narrow riparian zone in a narrow canyon.
Climbing up Raspberry Canyon, impressive views reward the ascent.
MRT 2021 Day 20, April 24, Saturday
• Start S6 mile 58.8, on Bear Wallow Trail
• End S6 mile 76.8
• Miles walked: 18.0
The day starts with a brutal cross-country climb, dodging blow-downs and cat’s-claw.
The trail guide says we are now on the Rim, but it feels different. The rock crown at the top is missing, and the top is not so flat to the north, more like a ridge.
MRT 2021 Day 19, April 23, Friday
• Start S6 mile 37.3, 4th ford of Black River
• End S6 mile 58.8, on Bear Wallow Trail
• Miles walked: 21.5
Continuing along Black River, the trail became much easier to follow, and places to ford were easy to see. Later, I pass a group of 5 campers, and they say the trail becomes fainter and harder to follow up ahead, which I find to be true, but still not too bad.
