July 9 - Tuesday
From Big burn hiked on, finally arriving (many blowdowns in valley section of alternate trail) to McCalls Basin, beautiful intervale
climbed through Elk pass, found many snowbanks beyond, once climbed goat trails up steep slope to detour treacherous snow. Got to vicinity of Packwood saddle when fog closed in as we came to very dangerous snowfield in front and both sides with high crest ahead. Too dangerous in such weather so again we turned back Very dissapointed . Returned to Big Burn camp by 7:00 and stopped for night.
