There are a number of small water crossings. The water crossing above the waterfall may be a problem crossing after a heavy rain but it was just a walkover today. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Franklinsites rates this trail as Moderate Length, Difficult Steepness. However, compared to other hikes with this rating, I would rate it as Moderate/Moderate. Yes, it is steep in sections but it has nice flat areas in between the steep ones giving you a chance to catch your breath. The trail was slippery in sections where there is steep, smooth rockface. And, I imaging after a rain, it a treacherous mix especially on the way down. The yellow blazes are faded in places but the trail is well traveled and easy to follow. There are a number of downed trees, two near the water crossings and three close to the summit. None will cause you too much trouble. |
