The Best Laid Plans - Downtown Creek

2900 metre peaks just off the Duffey Lake Road.  Drivable logging roads to 1500 metres and 4km from the summit!  Sounds too good to be true.  Well basically it was.  Jack and I had this great plan...there are a couple decent sized peaks, some of the highest in the south coast range, that look like worthy descents and had logging roads up to small lake at the foot of the mountains.  We then dug up a trip report on Bivouac.com that described the area, Dowton Creek drainage, and how easy it was to drive up a good way up.  Based on the fact that there's not much snow below 1500m this year we thought we'd give it a shot.
