| Comments: |
Trails on both sides below tree line were swamped with mud. Quite a bit of running water. Depending on what time you start, quite a bit of black ice formed on slabs and steeper rock sections of trail. Some kind of traction was needed on slabs. Leaves on trail below tree line made it tough keeping your footing with loose rocks in spots. My new favorite hike! |
