Parking/Access Road Notes

Surface Conditions
Surface Conditions: Wet Trail 
Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment:  
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: It rained the days before and I was surprised the crossings were manageable, lower flow than normal it seemed. Easy rock hopping. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Very well signed and evidence of very recent blowdown cleanup. One or two logs remained over the trail but were easy to pass. At a few of the steep sections draining water had undercut some logs that were put in place to stop flow of water down the trail.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: We had a small (20lbs) dog who had no trouble with the trail. There are some very steep sections that might not be easy for a larger dog. Also parts of the trail dropped off significantly to the left/right so caution for those sections is needed. 
Bugs
Bugs: None noticed.  
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: na 
 
Comments
Comments: Overall this was a great hike for cloudy/wet days, brook crossings weren't bad and there weren't too many sections that would be slippery when wet (trail was mostly gravel/sand) though there were areas of heavy roots that were slippery.
