All surprisingly easy rock hops given last week’s deluge. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One blowdown near the top of Red Ridge that’s tricky because it fell right across a short scramble. It’s not too bad, but threw our dog for a loop. |

Saw one other pup on the trail today. See note above about tricky blowdown. |

 | Comments: |
Surprisingly good conditions given the wet spring and very recent deluge. Really not much mud. The majority of the trail was dry.
After a two month hiatus it’s good to be back. Today’s weather was absolutely perfect and there weren’t many people on the trail (past Diana’s Baths of course). Pics and vids will be coming on Instagram at quantum.moxie. |
