All easily crossable, although unless you are an exceptional rock hopper, you will get your feet wet. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
As expected, the trails leading to the Carter-Moriah Ridge from the less travelled Wild River side are in need of some maintenance. Quite a few blowdowns and rotten bog bridging. Very overgrown in places as well. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I had to help Madison out in a few places with the steep climb up to North Carter. |
|
 | Bugs: |
They weren't bad until very late in the day. |

 | Comments: |
The Wild River Trail between the Rainbow Trail Junction and the Eagle Link Trail Junction is a muddy mess. Considering we have had a fairly dry summer, I can only imagine what it would be during a wet summer. |
