Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Great shape for April! Big mud puddle at the very beginning, followed by a relatively dry next mile. Around the 2100 mark, a little bit of snow and ice set in but it wasn't too slippery as it's almost all melted or dirty enough to provide good traction. The slab up top is also completely dry.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Ours & the many others we saw were doing great! Came out muddy though.

Comments
Comments: Really pleasant day up there. I would not be surprised if the Mon/Tue rain knocks out almost all the ice remaining. I wore microspikes for maybe 10 minutes of the decent just so I could keep speed, but it wasn't necessary.
