And so it began. The team, dry and unknowing of what lies ahead grin for their last assisted photo op. No roads, no trails, no history of any human ever attempting this passage. Ahead of us awaited a 25ft. wall of impenetrable brush. With 75 lbs packs, we quickly learned the paths of least resistance were either following Grizzly trails or wading through glacial rapids.

Stream crossing. A very common method of travel.
