 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Lot looked clean. When I arrived, there was one vehicle pulled straight in which kind of limited the number who could park in there. I parked 'backside in' out on the road portion of the parking area. Full with about six vehicles when I left. Most cars were inside the lot and facing to the left. As simple as you would think parking should be, a sign with directions might actually be helpful. |

Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |

|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The main water crossing (at about the 1.0 mile mark) required minimal effort to keep my boots dry. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Most blowdowns were small and could easily be stepped over. There was one that I had to 'straddle' to get over. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Only saw one pup. Was on leash and well-behaved. |
|
 | Bugs: |
No bugs. No ticks. Light breeze probably kept them at bay, but even when it wasn't blowing, all was calm. |

 | Comments: |
My first time up this mountain. Loved the views from the summit. Found the climbs/descents followed the profiles quite accurately in that if you are going either up or down, you'll be doing it pretty consistently for a while. Was happy to see the logging-road feel of the trail dissipate rather quickly. Very quiet, lone walk to the summit and just a few folks on the way down. |
