Arrived early enough to get into Highwood Pass Parking and set off up the trail towards Grizzly Col. I have completed numerous hikes from this trail head but not gone from Grizzly Col and Peak across to Highwood Peak and Col. The route looks to be unattainable but by mostly staying high on the ridge it becomes a interesting route through. Once on the Highwood Col we set off down but as we came in line with the parking lot the temptation was to great not to just head straight down the steep slope of scree and bush. There is a band of trees in front of the trail from the parking lot and it is quite dense but we found a nice dry water course to descend down that worked just fine coming out onto the trail. I would estimate that this way saved over 45 mins from our time going back.
