Thankfully Alpine Loop from Silverton does not involve (or doesn't need to involve) Mineral Creek. It just requires an early start and a fairly rapid pace to make the whole thing and be back to base camp early enough for evening shenanigans.Roger that. One year at LCDC, there was, I believe an Alpine Loop group that ran late and got stuck in a storm on Mineral Creek coming back down in the dark. Didn’t get back until like 1:00 am. Stuff can happen. They call it adventure (easy to say, I wasn’t on that run).
Right. The Mineral creek part was a decision made due to the situation at the time. My post was not meant to discourage anyone from the Alpine loop. I’ve only done Engineer Pass and it was awesome. Looking forward to Cinnamon Pass either as part of the loop or as part of my trek to Silverton.Thankfully Alpine Loop from Silverton does not involve (or doesn't need to involve) Mineral Creek.
