TYT Reconnaissance: Lake Alpine to Rock Lake

This was a recon hike to check out an area reported to be very difficult to get through due to regrowth from a fire. As it turns out, I did NOT take the original TYT north-east of Duck Lake so I will do so when I officially hike Section 4.

Due to extreme heat and work drama, I had to skip "section 3" of the TYT this summer - but I got some interesting intel on the beginning of section 4 and decided to hike it as a loop to check it out. Since this is the first video I've made of the TYT with brand new information, I recorded a lot of detail (feel free to skip around!).
