Arrived at the Green Rock trail head at 10 AM Sunday with Sandi.
Johannah arrived a few minutes later. (Driving from Fort Collins.)
Took vehicle count on the way up. See below.
Proceeded up, with the intention of skiing the Sally Creek
drainage. Took a wrong turn (on purpose?) some time before the
cabins. Skied up to a ridgeline following some old
tracks. Ended up in a drainage below Swastika lake. Skied
up to Swastika lake, ate lunch. Made a quick return to the Green
Rock trail head via drainage. Checked out snow stake at the top
of libby creek trail. (36 inches) Called it a day, in order to
have a "leisurely" drive back to Laramie and Fort Collins. Left
trail head at approximately 2PM.
Parking lot had been well plowed, most likely due to SAR the previous
days.
