 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossings on Pine Bend were easy.
Crossings on Sabbaday Brook took a bit more thinking. Or you can just wade through for a relaxing shock to the system. I opted for the latter 3 times, but you can probably rock hop with a little thinking. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
3 decent sized blow downs (12" or so) just after the Scaur intersection. You can get around them without too much effort.
Sabbaday Brook trail needs a lot of work. At least a dozen blow downs in the top mile or so. All can be avoided, but there's plenty to keep a few folks busy. Also lots of general cleanup of small branches from the winter. I moved what I could off the trail. |

 | Comments: |
Tripyramids are in really good shape. Small patches of monorail start around 3300 and continue off and on until just past the Scaur intersection. I put on spikes at that point and wore them until middle even though the monorail was off and on the whole way.
Felt really adventurous, so I went down Sabbaday Brook trail. The top is always steep, but not nearly as much ice and snow as I would have expected. Still enough to wear spikes for .3 miles or so, but not overwhelming. Below the stepp section it was very pleasant. Sure, there are lots of roots and rocks to navigate, but there's also lots of moss and water to enjoy.
Only saw a dozen people between the falls and the parking lot, so it was a nice quiet day. Even the road walk was pretty quiet. |
