Kurt and I hiked the Big Snowy Crest trail above Crustal Lake. We peaked out at 8240ft and enjoyed spectacular views. We also ventured through Devil's Chute cave which had nice ice formations from dripping water. We hiked a spur trail into Crystal Cascades which is serious of falls over layers of rock. At about 6300ft elevation the trails cut through large scree fields which have fossils of shells. Larkspur and other wild flowers where in bloom making the area even more eye catching.

We had fun on our 11.9 mile hump and the scenery was worth the soar legs. The Big Snowy mountains are a fun place to spend some time hiking or camping and I am sure I will end up there more on future treks.
