Trip: Denny Creek Drainage - Franklin Falls

 

Date: 12/2/2006

 

Trip Report:

With nothing to do on Saturday morning, I made a quick trip up I-90 to the Denny Creek area to scout out Franklin Falls. With beautiful weather and untracked snow along the creek, the ski into the falls was quite fun. The temperature was around 27 degrees with the sun shining and I was actually surprised to find the amount of ice I did at Franklin Falls. Obviously with the weather warming up, I don't think the ice will last much longer. I did however, get to spend some time bouldering around the falls which made for a very wet ski trip back out to the car.

 

Gear Notes:

Very easy to set up TR's on the trees above the cliff band.

I just had tools and pons.

 

 

Approach Notes:

Skis or snowshoes are very useful. However, on my way out, many more hikers had packed down a trail on FSR 58.

I'm imagining falling icicles and pouring water...
