 | Comments: |
Leaving the camp the trails are all in good shape, some hobblebush creeping in by the shore, but otherwise well marked and clear. Stream crossing for junction to begin ascending Goat was very dry, easy to cross. Goat is brushed out and in good shape. The red trail leading up Mt. Anna is good, watch for leaf accumulation below integrated water bar. The sign for Carbonneau Caves is missing, no sign of it anywhere (pun intended).
**BEE WARNING: Just below the main water crossing heading up the red trail there is a moderate step over (not cut due to bees), and many more in the brook where a tree has broken up - assuming it was holding the nest. Please use caution here, those with allergies be advised. Water in brook was very low, I backed up and crossed probably about 100feet below keeping an eye on the trail.
Outlook post summit was nice, colors are starting to pop. Followed blue trail back to Old Stage then returned to the red trail intersection and retraced my steps. Did not encounter another person until driving out. |
