 | Comments: |
with the winter blowdowns all removed, water bars in good shape. It could use some better blazing through the rocky switchbacks as there are multiple iterations causing erosion from herd paths and shortcuts.
Overall trail is in good condition with no blowdowns on trail, dry rocks and ledges and blueberries ripening. Bring plenty of water or fill up at the Dry Brook bridge as that's the last sure water especially in this summer heat. |
