| Comments: |
many sections of trail up to the shelter are wet and rough. Took some extra time to reach the shelter. Reroute above the shelter is very nice. Ledges climbing East Pk are intimidating, but the rock has good grip so no problems going up or down them. Trail not well marked here, but just go up or down and you will find it. |
