| Comments: |
Trail is almost completely dry, aside from a few standing water puddles, one of which had salamander eggs in it. The trail itself is well-maintained, but my gripe is with "hikers" who have left a trash heap on the summit. I counted nearly half a dozen banana peels, several orange rinds, various litter, and one face mask; all of which was just on the summit! Had I had a large plastic bag with me, I would have gladly picked up what I could, but as it is I can only complain on here. |
