|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I know it's a wilderness area, but there really needs to be some blue blazing on some of the scarier ledges. There is some faded blue, but you really have to look for it (and good luck finding them if descending). All trails were basically clear and dry with no other problems |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
I can't imagine taking a dog up the Blueberry Ledge Trail, yet I saw a couple. Seemed to be doing OK |
|
| Bugs: |
Lots of bugs since there was absolutely no wind all day. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
I saw a hiker put a pair of glasses into the lost and found bin at the kiosk. |

| Comments: |
Been 25 years since I've done these trails. The Blueberry Ledge Trail was a lot easier back then when there were ladders and steps. |
