Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Many water crossings. Gave up trying to pick my way across and just waded through the bigger ones.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Moriah Brook looks little-used on the northern end, overgrown and hard to follow (but very pretty). Wet and mossy. Highwater was tough to follow, with a few false trails (game paths?) that led me astray. Black Angel was in decent shape, and from Basin Rim onward things were clear, obvious, and blazed.
