First Chilnualna Creek crossing about 1/4 mile above the falls.  Was a bit dicier than it looks in the photo, the water was thigh deep and the current swift.  Scouted up and downstream a bit, but didn't see a better place to cross.  Hiked up the umbros (into a rather unbecoming umbro-thong) and did a test crossing w/o my pack.

Made it accross w/o difficulty (and without getting my pants wet).  Went back across, grabbed my pack, returned, and continued up the trail.

Trail junction of the Chilnualna Falls trail and the loop around Buena Vista peak.  Took the clockwise route over a ridge (lost the trail in the snow for a bit on the other side)
