I had dry feet until the 2nd to last crossing, i took my shoes off for that one and forded it. Then I rock hopped the last crossing. On the way back I just walked thru both as my feet were wet by this point. |

Alright what a choice after these last two days! Only 1 foot in snow at the summit was a dream after this mess of an end of May snow issue. Trail was better than I expected, seemed like the usual wet mess it is in the non drainage parts. Water was flowing higher for sure from The rain and snow melt. Water crossings were higher for a comfortable rock hop but a fine ford for sure. Only saw 7 others doing owls and a lot others on lincoln woods. I was surprised with how good brutus was with the recent rain. I then ran lincoln woods to get out quicker. No rain and still wet feet but that is a win!! |
