Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: There are a number of small water crossings. The water crossing above the waterfall may be a problem crossing after a heavy rain but it was just a walkover today.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Franklinsites rates this trail as Moderate Length, Difficult Steepness. However, compared to other hikes with this rating, I would rate it as Moderate/Moderate. Yes, it is steep in sections but it has nice flat areas in between the steep ones giving you a chance to catch your breath. The trail was slippery in sections where there is steep, smooth rockface. And, I imaging after a rain, it a treacherous mix especially on the way down. The yellow blazes are faded in places but the trail is well traveled and easy to follow. There are a number of downed trees, two near the water crossings and three close to the summit. None will cause you too much trouble.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: My 10 lb chihuahua had no problems on this hike.  
Bugs
Bugs: Other thank breaking spiderwebs on my face throughout the ascent, I had no problems with bugs ;). 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: None
