| Comments: |
The wettest I've ever seen these trails. The rocky/ledgy portions of the Mt. Major Trail were slippery due to recent monsoon and humidity. Lower portions of the trail look like they took a beating, erosion-wise, from the microbursts.
Brook Trail was very wet - extended portions of the trail had water running down it. Waterbar crossings were like small brook crossings, and the two brook crossings were running high. |
