| Comments: |
The Cadillac South Ridge Trail, as well as the short spur to Eagles Crag, was in great shape and very well maintained, blazed, and marked. The above treeline parts do have the potential to be tough to follow in fog, though. Keep an eye out for blue blazes and the triangular Bates cairns that mark the way. |
