Considering that the Nash Stream Gate had opened just two days before, we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent condition of all Trails. A couple of minor blowdowns on P. Loop Trail. |

 | Bugs: |
Black flies swarmed at both trailheads, at beginning and end. On the trails, they didn't assert themselves until the afternoon, when warm sunshine stirred them into swarming action, but not biting. |

 | Comments: |
We hit it lucky - no real mud in what would normally be still mud season and blackflies that occasionally swarmed but didn't bite. These are excellent trails. |
