Beware trail heads are closed to vehicles due to logging foot traffic is ok,the parking area now adds a one mile road walk to trailhead. Hike was very wet from start to finish water crossings were rock hopping with some rocks slightly under water. Minor avoidable is from about 3500ft no spikes needed. Did some minor bushwhacking on the lower parts of Unknown Pond to avoid trail flooding, might want to ditch the trail runners and break out the gore-tex boots. Nice loop hike great views from the Horn and Unknown Pond is beautiful. |
