Heavy erosion and trail creep on the Edmands Path

Route: Edmands Path, Eisenhower Loop, (Mt. Eisenhower), Eisenhower Loop, Edmands Path

Trails were generally dry with some minor mud and a little bit of running water this afternoon/early evening.

Still some alpine flowers in bloom, including diapensia and lapland rosebay.

Sad to see the continued unmitigated erosion on this trail, folks leaving "rock art" on top of alpine vegetation (I removed it to save the vegetation), as well as the COVID mask litter near treeline.
