 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossing the Swift River is very doable at the moment, but non-trivial. Your feet will likely get wet. After the forecasted storm, please be careful, as conditions will no-doubt have changed. Besides that, all other wet sections of trail were easy enough to get past while keeping your feet dry. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is in surprisingly good shape. No major blow-downs, or anything else that will impede forward progress. |

I finally bagged the entirety of the trail for my redline. The ground was a bit spongey in places, but overall, the trail's surface was in fine shape. The only major water crossing was the Swift, near the southern terminus. Lots of frogs in the wetlands creating quite a din. There was a dirt-bike track for a fair bit of the hike, and that was the only evidence of a human that I encountered the entire day. Not bad!
Photos and a more detailed write-up are on my blog, as always. |
