 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails were bare down below, some snow up high, but barebooting from start to finish. I must have ducked under a blowdown at some point, but I don't remember it. Mostly, trails were in excellent condition. Occasionally I had to push a pricker plant away with my poles. |

 | Comments: |
Met a nice family staying at Gentian Pond shelter, and a family right at the end on Mt. Crag. Big day! 13 miles and 4,000 feet of elevation gain. Trails are mostly well marked and easy to follow. Just remember that if you to see Dryad Falls (which are underwhelming), that is a side trail. Do not try to continue on, but rather get back on the road and continue that way. |
