No blowdowns. The same erosion on the Willey Range Trail in between Field and Willey that has been eroding for a while, but easy enough to navigate. |

 | Comments: |
Definitely needed light traction the entire loop. No snow shoes needed today, not enough snow. Most mud was frozen. All water crossings were low and easy to cross. We did step on a few rocks that were slightly submerged, but did not cause any issues. Exceptional trail conditions for shoulder season. Gorgeous day with stellar views! Nice to run into a fellow gridder out there! |
