 | Comments: |
Trails are well-drained and almost bone dry -- there might be a small puddle or two in the sometimes-wet areas of the Clark Trail and Ranger Cabin Trail within about 0.1 miles of the ranger cabin. The new drainage channels on the Clark Trail about 0.1 miles below PJ Ledge are working well. Also, the new rock steps on the Holt Trail near Grand Junction are very nice -- great work, AMC Cardigan Highlanders. NOTE: leaves are turning nicely up top -- color will probably peak the first weekend in October. |
