| Water Crossing Notes: |
All on this route are on the 19MB trail. The upper three were easy rock hops. Lower down, there is that one with a new log cut for the purpose and firmly in place, alongside a couple of other no longer in use. The closer of those is usable for pole plants while walking along the new log. Below that crossing is another, with three good logs side by side for easy crossing. Finally there is that fairly recent long span bridge with wide walkway and railings, all mounted on a pair of massive engineered lumber beams. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are in fairly good shape. 19MB had a couple of blowdowns that have been there for a while, but are easy enough to step over. |

Very nice early fall day for an OTHH hike up there, with mostly sunny skies, generally cool and dry, with little breeze. |
