Sawtooth Traverse: Mt. Bierstadt And Mt. Evans 

yeah, my feet were not happy in that section

Was this a long time ago? They have had the wooden boardwalks across the marsh for many years now.

@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath not on the way back from the gully between sawtooth and Spaulding. The boardwalk is only on the main Mt Bierstadt trail.

I did see a video of that and looked like a lot of fun, but I needed reservation on mt evans road

If you park by the turnout near the saddlebwhere the route starts you don’t have to have reservation. Cheers

the willows were pretty bad, and they were hard to avoid. Water stunk, I was more worried about getting an infection on my feet from it. The sawtooth itself felt like a hard class 2, not too bad at all.

@Theninjaonthemountains I know about those willows, I went through those about 10 years ago. I actually got kind of lost in them there didn't seem to be much of a route or trail through them that I could find. It was a mess.😊
