Hiking along the Davis Path
We hooked onto the original cut of the Crawford Path, located between the Davis Path and Camel trails. If you look closely you can see the old treadway on the bottom left of the photo as it curves up and to the right
A very unique flat gravel area along the old Crawford Path. We did our best to not disturb or step on any sensitive alpine vegetation while off trail, using rocks to hop above the fragile spots.
