I stumbled across this post while researching a trip through some of the same country. I’m wondering what the terrain is like along the Alta Peak ridge, especially at what some people call “Winter Alta.” I’m also curious how difficult the terrain is between the Tablelands Pass and Big Bird Lake. I’m pretty comfortable and experienced with cross-country travel, and I want to make sure I don’t bite off more than I can chew in my planning.

Photos here. […]
