2008-06-30 Posted By: SarahT Info: Conundrum Creek is raging and has swept away ALL of the bridges at the MANY creek crossings. The water level varies grealy throughout the day and from day to day. Be ready to turn around, wade in water up to your hips, and camp an extra night if the creek swells to much while you‘re up there. Crossings were anything from wading with a hand line to balancing across sketchy logs, to finding snow bridges. Be prepared to get wet!
