 | Comments: |
redlined all the trails with very little retrace in 3hours. all trails well marked, thank you SLA! FFP tr is lovely so close to the water...the lake was calm and serene. Col trail was the wettest, but strategically placed stones kept my feet out of the damp. Butterworth is a very nice trail...stretches of soft pine needle covered footbed. Ramsey was steep going down and a little wet...probably better for ascent. flushed a black bear out while jogging down Undercut tr.
note: please, please, Please, use the rock steps that hard-working trail maintainers have put in place, and stay on the trail in general. some areas of the more popular trails are widening out from the many feet that trek over them...further contributing to erosion. (steps off soapbox) |
