Willow Creek to Harney Peak Loop
We went clockwise but heard counter is better. The trail from Willow Creek to Harney Peak is very rugged with tons of technical bouldery step ups and downs. All agreed it’s a one and done. Would rather do Harney in and out counter clockwise from Willow Creek or Palmer Creek.
