Comments
Comments: First time I can recall having to park on road; busy day. Trails very dry; so dry that a hard, lengthy downpour may do lots of minor damage. Lots of leaf cover over the many softball sized rocks. On the way down I used the old (pre-Irene) trail and most of it is in pretty good condition; definitely still sees traffic. Wouldn't use the lowest section with normal water levels. Weathers been great for my vacation; sad it's ending soon.
