Hasn't voted | Kane- Thanks for your comment. Thanks to Jim and Ellen, I had great pictures to submit, particularly of the Causeway crossing. If you ever do it, let me know what you think. | |

Voted 10/10 | Oh yeah, this one is a winner. After reading it I immediately had to put it down on my "must do" list. Great stuff. | |

Hasn't voted | Dean- We'll be doing this hike again in reverse this coming fall. If you'd like to hook up, let me know! This would be a cool one to meet each other on. Thanks for your comments. | |

Hasn't voted | I know for you wall hangers that climbing is hard to beat. But if you need a break with some nice exposure to keep you interested, this is the hike. If short on time, walk across the Causeway, turn around and return the way you came. Not even a 3 mile day. Thanks for your vote. | |

Voted 10/10 | Looks cool. I like hikes like that. The standard route on Mount Conness (CA) has the most exposed "step" I've ever found on a non-technical hike. Also an interesting submission from a neglected part of the state. I visited northpark once, and the region to the south and west of that area looked almost forgotten. -Morgan | |

Hasn't voted | Morgan: I know what you mean. Upon our visit I felt the place was deserted compared to the rest of the state. A very good thing. The area is popular with sportsmen. We're going back this fall to do the hike in reverse, so the population matter might be different. Thanks for chiming in. Always nice to hear from you. | |

Voted 10/10 | Nice page. I like the Topozone link and will start incorporating into my pages as well. Thanks Arron | |

Hasn't voted | Grant- When I put the page together, there was no Topozone Link set up by the Links and Route sections. Now there is, so I'll put it there as well. I don't recall whether your pages have it. If not, put it in the text like I did or wait to see if a TopoLink shows up later. | |

Hasn't voted | It's great fun-if you don't mind dizzying heights. If you do it, be sure to chime in on this page. Thanks for the vote and input. | |

Voted 10/10 | Very nice page. I've read about this hike before but never seen any pictures--yours are great. One account I read described the traverse as very scary with a full pack (multi-day backpacking expedition). I'd appreciate your thoughts on that and I'll bet a lot of other sper's would too. Thanks for another great page! | |

Hasn't voted | Andy- Thanks for the link. I put it on the link page and in the Essential Gear text of the Route Description. I think this is an important point. Now then-YOU need to try crossing the Causeway! If you do, let me know what you think. | |

Voted 10/10 | If you have any sensitivity to exposure and heights it probably would be scary. I didn't find it so.... in fact I thought it was a blast. But then some people say I am strange - so there you go! | |
