It is the most amazing section from GPT01 to here so far!
Parque Ingles have a restaurant and a tiny store selling food, fruits, drinks and some 230g gas canisters.
I hopped the gate to the park at 6:30. No one was there.
There are 3 main pass for RR.
First pass, snow start at km14.3(2050m), not difficult for climbing up to pass[15.4/2257].
A large flat area can fit lot of tents at the downhill side of km22.6.
After km22.6, the most dangerous part begins, from here to km26, lot of steep snow slope you need to cross, be careful, kick step and don't slide.
Snow continues to km26.6, but easy way. The first pass's snow end.
About the second pass, snow start at ford[29.4/2190], strong flow and look like up to thighs, i cross it on snow bridge.
Snow end at km41.4, but mostly you can find some flat sandy spot start at km39.1.
Hot spring[45.6/1881] : completely dry. Some camping spots with rock wall nearby.
Camp[56.3/2034] : oasis again! Crystal clear and cold water! It is possible to cut off from km56 to x[57.3/2073] directly, stream flowing slow and up to knee.
Third pass, steep climb up to km57.9, if you follow RR, then you will turn right and face some steep snow climbing up.
I follow RR, mostly easy to go down until km61.5, a steep slope. I don't want to take the risk, so i crossed a snow bridge to a sandy slope at south side. Go down the slope and rejoin RR about km62.1.
Ford[63.4/1909] : i crossed the river before a huge rock, below knee at morning. The huge rock also provide some wind protection, i saw some camping trace beside it.
Lastly with no luck, i saw a car going down just 10min before i arrived the road, then no more cars, so i walk all the way to Los Cipreses.
Met a super friendly worker at Los Cipreses, he give me some cherry to eat and a ride to Los Alamos. A tiny shop there , if you are not picky, a little pricey but enough food resupply for 1 people six days. It have a sign "Almacen" at its front gate. You can ask locals where it is, i saw many workers go to there buy things.
