  • Parking at a large pull off on Caribou Valley Road.  I learned two weeks ago that my car doesn't have the ground clearance to make it quite all the way to the trail crossing
  • Where the trail crosses the road, there is a small cairn
  • The first mile of trail is pretty gentle with good footing
  • Informative sign at the Crocker Cirque Tent Site side trail
  • The trail is getting a little steeper now
  • Soon it got even steeper, and rockier
  • Coming out onto the Crocker slide
  • The trail goes up the side of the slide
  • A view of North Crocker from the slide
  • Crocker Cirque down below.  The tent site is near this
  • A view up to the Bigelow Range.  I was there just two weeks ago
  • Some other hikers heading over an open rocky area
  • Some large rocks to negotiate around
  • After the steep sections, the trail mellows out again
  • It stays at a more gentle incline up to the summit of South Crocker
  • The forest next to the trail
  • The trail sign at the intersection with the short path to the South Crocker summit
  • A small sign for the side path to the summit.  We'll do that on the way back
  • For now, I'll continue along the trail
  • A patch of ferns down low in the saddle between the peaks
