| Comments: |
Followed the East Branch trail to its junction with the Wild River trail. Many wet and muddy sections early on. Some sections a bit tricky to follow with all the fresh leaves on the ground. Snow cover at the height of land, and down the north slope to Wild River 6"-12". Deepest snow along Wild River. Both East Branch and Wild River trails showed tracks from previous hikers. No ice on trail. No traction needed. Just gaiters and plenty of water proofing on the boots. |
