Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry, other than a few short muddy spots, as well as the occasional wet ledge (nothing tricky). Signs announced the north branch of the Wright Trail as being closed due to being dangerous, however we saw no issues on that branch - no blowdowns, snow, ice, etc. We suspect that branch was closed due to runoff, as the water crossings could be very dangerous in even moderate water. Very nice trails, though they would all be quite challenging if wet or icy.
