 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry with an bit of mud here and there mainly on the Brook Trail. Nice new relocation cut on the Brook Trail to avoid the steep and wet area just above the Saddle Trail junction. Hot end to the hike descending the Ridge Trail on the access road. Noted a bootleg trail that leaves the access road a short distance above the upper mountain coaster terminal. It appears to be getting quite a lot of use and is well worn in. |
