waypoint
Julian Harrison Hut
Unlocked hut maintained by the Varsity Outdoor Club. Outhouse nearby.
waypoint
Possible car camping spot
Possible car camping spot. Apparently used by VOCers many years ago for camping. Dubious conditions
waypoint
Good car camping spot
Used in May 2024. Well-drained tent sites. Water sources not great.
waypoint
Good car camping spot
Used in November 2024. This area floods during heavy rain; choose tent spots carefully. Get water from the creek under the 24 km bridge.
waypoint
Campsite
Water source nearby. No outhouse. Practice bear safety.
waypoint
Explore possible trail junction
This may or may not be a trail junction between three branches: * Branch going north to the road * Branch going southwest to the hut * Branch going east to the road that's further away I'm not quite sure if the third branch exists. If it does exist, we should explore it and decide whether that branch should be restored. In that case we should also install a sign here in the future to mark the junction and describe what the three branches are.
waypoint
Put signs or markers at road junction
Ideally, we'd put a sign to mark the direction to the hut, but there aren't any good trees to attach a sign to. Maybe we could attach a sign to a stump, or on a small post...? Maybe we should just put a trail marker at the beginning of the spur towards the parking...?

waypoint
Capricorn Creek Lookout
View of Meager Slide.
waypoint
Creek Crossing
The trail crosses Zygo Creek here. It is usually possible to get across with some rock-hopping. Be careful in the snow. Snow bridges can break and it is easy to slide off into the creek.

waypoint
Reroute trail lower over log?
There is a fallen log across the cutblock further down from the current trail. We could reroute the trail to go over the log, bypassing the tricky rocky bit.
waypoint
Improve junction marking
This is a trail junction. We could (1) add a sign or (2) destroy the flagging on the route to the northwest, if that route will never be used again, so people don't get confused.
waypoint
Reroute trail over log
There is a log just downhill of the current path. It may be better to reroute the trail over the log to avoid the really wet area.
waypoint
Add trail marker(s) here
To help avoid confusion at the junction, we should very prominently mark the main route in both directions from the junction. We don't want anyone to accidentally wander off the wrong way.
waypoint
Campsite
Water source nearby. No outhouse. Practice bear safety.

waypoint
Creek Crossing
The trail crosses Pika Creek here. The crossing may be impassable when the water is high. Do not linger in the creekbed because there is landslide/rockfall danger there. This is not the place to have lunch!
waypoint
Viewpoint #1
Nice view over the valley. Good lunch spot.
waypoint
Viewpoint #2
At Roland's Rock Crevasse.
