Trail pretty much dry til tent site. Crossings tricky with high water and wet slippery rocks. Snow from tent site crossing on up. I did to the top of the switchbacks bareboot, but postholed aces times. Once on the flat above the switchbacks snowshoes were a necessity. Ba k to boots only for ledges and rocky summits. Summits were obscured today. Too bad, I'll have to come back for the views. What a well built and maintained trail. Nicely placed stepping and paving stones. Great views of the brook and its many falls and cascades. |
