A bit of blue sky peaks out in the morning, hinting at a weather change, but soon clouds over and we get intermittent rain all morning and afternoon.

The trail is still at 10k elevation, and I get to enjoy a couple of snow crossings.

So many wet-foot crossings today, more than I can count.
I am still running into several hikers, many with fishing rods. Apparently several access points are nearby.
The trail reaches Summit Lake.

Afterwards the path follows the Green River down a big elevation change.
Around 4PM the weather finally breaks.

The Green River really does look green.

Looking forward to a dry tomorrow.
