 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The 3 main water crossings - though water a little higher - were still fine for adults (child did well with hand-hold)- rocks were of course all wet and our boots got a bit wet but not bad at all. Adults would still find it fine to "rock hop." The first crossing through we did have to go up stream about 20 feet or so for more exposed rocks to step on ;-) |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There were approximately 10 blowdowns and only one seemed to be a little newer- it was one of the two "duck unders." The not-so-new duck under had it's branches sawed (THANK YOU!) and the newer duck under has it's branches hanging down into the trail space- though very easy to walk through ;-) |

 | Comments: |
it snowed on us for about 2 hours and did stick especially for the last 0.4 miles of trail closest to the summit. however, "bare booting" felt most appropriate for today (not enough for "traction".... yet) :-) |
