deadman canyon.
this is where we left the trail. the route up to glacier ridge is to the right of the frame. from here you follow a seasonal creek up the canyon wall to the first lake in the western basin of the ridge. deadman canyon is a really beautiful place. its a classic glacial canyon. the walls rise sharply like this the entire length of the canyon. the only annoying thing is the horses. they haven't ruined the trail like they have on the sugarloaf trail but theres horse poo everywhere. we passed one horse party on the trial this day. i was glad to leave the trail, the horses, and the people at this point but not happy to be going up the steep route up the canyon wall.
