Itinerary:

Lois and I have wanted to redo this trail since Karen and Larry introduced it to us a few years ago. We hike along the Burstall Pass trail for approx 3.3km before turning off to our left and heading up valley to a large meadow to check out the views and some larches. If trail conditions are favourable we will continue up the scree slope to the col below Piggy Plus and enjoy views of the French and Robertson glaciers.
