Hell Brook trail was a fun scramble before the rain. Some sketchy slimy bits so watch your step. The trail was started to feel eroded in some of the steeper sections so maybe best to stay away from after heavy rain. No snow or ice remaining anywhere. Mud wasn't too bad considering the rain this weekend. The little cave and ladder on Clara Bow trail was a lot of fun, and quite fine even in the rain. Taylor Lodge was lovely. Lake Mansfield Trail out was a very easy decent. |
