Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Several rock-hops that were a bit challenging as the streams were running high, from significant rain a few days earlier. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Good, but the steep section just below So. Doubletop is better ascended than descended, in my view. More wet sections than I remembered, but the heavy rains a few days before must have affected that.
