|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Almost the entire lower half of the trail was literally a river. That said, as long as you don't mind getting your feet completely soaked, nothing was really dangerous. But with the current water levels, keeping your feet dry is pretty much impossible. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail was extremely wet, and was literally a river in the lower half, though with all the rain we got recently that's pretty much unavoidable. Further up, there wasn't as much water on the trail. There were several blowdowns at various elevation levels. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Dogs will get wet. |
|
 | Bugs: |
None. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Nada. |

 | Comments: |
Quite possibly the wettest hike I have ever done. Almost the entire lower half of the trail (before it gets steep) was literally a river. Avoiding the water was impossible. Further up, it was steep but the footway was clear on the ski path. Cabin was locked, and there were no views due to the rain. |
