 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Waded across the river on North Twin Trail a little bit upstream of the crossing. Knee height on me at the deepest and easy footing barefoot. If you go upstream maybe .1-.15 miles there's a little island. Bottom is flatter and then when you get to the bank, go straight up and the trail is right there. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails were in much better condition than our last version of this hike in April. Still a lot of blowdowns but much better than what we saw this winter. Biggest batch left is between South Twin and Guyot. We cleared alot of loose stuff/small christmas tree sized trees. We met Fuzz coming from Zealand and he was clearing some small trees crossing the trail from Zealand over to Guyot. |

My husband and I finished our Grid with this traverse!!! Yeah!!!
Only small patches of snow that were not a big deal. Way less mud than I was expecting and all the mud was in the usual spots. The trails were easy to navigate even before we cleared some blowdowns. We made good time in trail runners and mid-sized packs. Great time to grab these mountains if you need them. Also congrats to Fuzz who was finishing a round of "48 over 75" with his Zealand-Bonds traverse. |
