|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The first crossing is fairly easy. A passage made of stones has been put in place. The second crossing was so shallow I simply walked across it without trying to rock hop. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One trail blocking blowdown on the Willey Range trail before Mt. Field. Another trail blocking blowdown on Willey Range trail between Field and Willey. At least three trail blocking blowdowns on the Avalon trail. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
On a scale of one to five with five the most difficult. I would give this hike two paws, perhaps three paws if you go out to Willey and back--simply for the distance. There are some significant ledges going up to Avalon. Trail wise dogs like Lauky will have no problems. A novice dog might have some. |
|
 | Bugs: |
The black flies came out around noon. Some were biting. Bug spray advised. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
There is a green bandanna on the ground near the Willey cairn. |

 | Comments: |
The rocks and roots in places tended to be greasy. I slipped several times. There were also places where the rocks and ledges were wet with running water. |
