Haven't done this in a few years so it was time. Took the route up past Battleship Lake. Love this part of the trail. Had a nice lunch at Kwai and continued on with the rest of the loop. I had forgotten just how "nasty" this part of the loop is. A trail that slopes away toward the bank....seems the whole ridge is slowly shifting. The exposed routes make this trail difficult to navigate with any pace. This return loop is only a bit longer than the trail leading to Kwai but took me almost an hour longer. Next time I will return on the same trail that I arrived at Kwai Lake on. The views on the return loop are not as scenic anyway.
