The south side of the creek is easier, no exposure. But it has two creek crossings. Especially early summer when the creek is high, those aren't very easy. At the upper crossing the creek follows the "trail" so people are hard pressed to find anyplace dry to step. Late summer that isn't such a problem.
The northern route involves some exposure, but is more direct, and without the problems with the creek.
Thanks Steve,
So, I'm guessing that there is no advantage of one route over the other for either distance of time. Would this be correct?
