 | Comments: |
The short section of trail I was on was wet and muddy below the logging road crossing, dry above that. While the "scenic vista" sign is still up, the former views at the end of the spur trail are long gone. The other short path from this point has had its blazes painted over and is presumably abandoned or closed. The viewpoint at the end of this path is also overgrown.
Fairly busy on these remote roads with campers. Some folks had even set up shop in the turnaround at the end of East Branch Rd. |
