Question--I'm trying to choose between Booth Creek and Pitkin Creek for this trip. Booth looks a whole lot more scenic.
If we do Booth, we will do West Partner and The Fly. If we do Pitkin, we will do Peak W and East Partner.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks!
Booth or Pitkin?

Sorry, can't help with opinions. But... did you happen to go up either of these? Wondering about snow conditions. Thanks.steelfrog wrote:Question--I'm trying to choose between Booth Creek and Pitkin Creek for this trip. Booth looks a whole lot more scenic.

Went up Pitkin Sat - dry. Some avoidable snow patches heading up to the ridgelines and more snow in the NE facing drainages.
