 | Comments: |
The trail is back to spring conditions, snow is all but gone, and where there is snow it is easily avoidable without going off trail. The one spot where there is a stubborn drift is if you go right at the top to head toward the summit (rather than going around to the left). But we still managed to travers it. Despite the running water in spots I still managed to stay relatively dry in my trail runners (not waterproof). It astounds me the level of erosion happening on this trail though, I think it is deteriorating exponentially at this point and not sure how to stop this without closing it. |
