Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Note: the East Royce summit sign does not face the current trail - faces an old trail that appears only on the topo map... we tried to follow that trail but it ran into a swamp (presumably why it was discontinued). Also, the East Royce summit sign is not on the actual summit... herd path leads to actual summit, but, beyond that are some really great ledges and fun equipment!!!! Upper part of Laughing Lion Trail is very eroded - lots of tree roots where there once was trail!!!
