CRITICAL MILL CREEK ROUTE DESCENT POINT

As you descend toward timberline from Sunshine Peak's broad east ridge, be sure to aim between these two tree clusters (underlined) pictured here. This must be done if you wish to retrace your cairned route back to the obscure Mill Creek trailhead. Going north or south of this route could result in cliffing out and encountering other unknown perils on Sunshine's expansive south and east slopes. Summer, 2003.
