Day 1 of 2...
Good parking on a Monday morning at 9am. Most trails are very dried out, which made Nordic Gal very happy. A few stretches of trail had some mud, and some stretches we were grateful for the old big bridges! We were amazed to run into six people between the Wildcat River and East Branch junctions (two pairs had been camping, a single and one other pair out for the day). They all raved about beautiful spots after the Wild Rive crossing. We found a nice one off Eagle Link, set up camp, grabbed our day packs and took off to Eagle Crag. The trail is gradual and relatively nice; hobble bush has grown in pretty well at about 2500’ for a short half mile or so stretch. Watch your footing and look for the footbed. Lots of moose paths here, one that was easy to mistake on the descent. We met one other person on top of Eagle Crag, and headed back to tag the final stretch of Wild River Trail. The crossing where Spider Bridge used to be was easy with the low water levels. We made quick work of the return trip to camp and happily settled into our tents. |
