Ford of Torrey Creek

At the start of the Old Glacier Trail. This was in late June 2009. In spots, the water was almost waist-deep and with a very strong current. I am used to carrying a kayak through rapids and felt uncomfortable here.

If in doubt, take the new Glacier Trail, which is longer but does not have any fords.

Waist deep? I'd be uncomfortable, too!!!!
