| Water Crossing Notes: |
The crossing on the Basin-Cascades Trail was easy as well as the one on the Cascade Brook Trail just past where the bridge has been washed out. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There was a large clump of 3 big blowdowns about 0.6 mi up the Basin-Cascades Trail. My dog was able to weave under them, but I basically used them as a balance beam to hike that short section of trail. About a quarter-mile up from there, there is small pile of brush/branches and such blocking the trail, but nowhere near as big an obstacle as the aforementioned blowdowns. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
We saw several out today. My pup did great! There a couple spots on the steep boulder section of Kinsman Ridge Trail where I had to give him a little boost (he's a 65-70 lb. golden/aussie mix for others to compare to) to make it up from one boulder spot to the next, but on the decent he had no trouble at all. |

| Bugs: |
They weren't that bad today, but they are definitely increasing in number by the day. |

| Comments: |
No snow/ice left along this route. A few muddy spots here and there were about the only we ran into on the way up. Other than that, the trails were great. |
