Description
High Saddle starts just a few minutes up the Throne ridge hike.
Look for the small alpine first that dot the upper section.
Watch for the traverse track below.
This is a relatively easy run for those wanting to hike for a few fresh turns.
Non-experts should avoid the cedar bench a third of the way down, where it steepens and often requires jumping off a cliff.
Veer to the left through the opening in the trees for a consistent fall line to the bottom.
