Yup. This trail will make your dog smile and go, "heh-ah-heh-ah-heh-ah-heh-ha". |

Not yet, but it's close. I was amazed nothing bit me while I was kicking up leaves around those blowdowns. |

 | Comments: |
Trail was mud and leaf porridge in places, but not slowing me down. Drier than I expected.
Many of the rocks/ledges were partially dry, but where they are wet, BE CAREFUL, very slippery! Thanks, Liam, for the heads up on that, I didn't fall once, thanks to your warning.
I was told in the parking lot that Gunstock Mtn trail was drier than Piper Mtn trail.
Sun popped out a couple times in the afternoon, it was pretty good. |
