Nice loop. Pain in the ass getting there . rutted out bad in some spots was scraping a good bit . About 40 minutes to cover 12.5 miles on gravel wheeler pass was actually really well graded only when I got off on the side roads did it deteriorate . Hike is pretty straightforward , snow made it a little more challenging but nothing too bad . I was only second entry this year on horse and third on spring. Also went over to north spring since mr de q informed the log that it was higher . Glad to have these two done I’m prolly done in the spring mountains for this year though I am not a fan of the snow overall . Also there is a nice water cache at the wheeler well campground . I drank some I will let you know if I get ghiardia or die
