Great turn around on weather this morning, really great views. The last couple days of rain really mucked up the trails, made walking on wet pine needles look more appealing than the wet rocks and prevalent muddy spots. The Red trail decending from Belknap Mountain has seen recent work, definitely looking forward to a few more improved waterbars to help with drainage on the upper half. At times unfortunately it was better to walk in the water bar because it was drier in comparison to the actual trail. Only saw one small group with a dog the whole morning, and a crew working on the bottom portion of the freshly paved Carriage Road raising the shoulders. |
