Gorgeous day to finally get Madison. Valley way was an easier trail than I thought, I had intended on taking Watson down from the hut, but the pine link trail that connects to Watson was hard to follow beyond the hut, so I gave up and went back down Valley Way. Lower Bruin is a wild section of trail, but easy enough to follow if you keep your eyes on the ground. The lower portion of Watson and upper section of Brookside were very wet and muddy, take care on some of the boulders if they are wet. |
