Comments
Comments: The trails were very wet today. In many spots there was water running along the trail, not as bad as rocky branch but enough to make things tricky in spots. There were also many spots were the trail was muddy or where huge puddles/small ponds had formed. The footing going up to Moriah was slick as were a few spots climbing up to North Carter but for the most part the ledge and rocks provided decent footing.
