 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Part of the trail was literally hiking up a stream but the flow wasn’t too heavy. There were 3 spots where crossing a streams with heavier flow was necessary but there were enough rocks to make it across with dry feet. That said, this could easily change with more rain and snow melt. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two blowdowns but nothing incontournable. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Hiked with a 3 yr old shepherd/lab mix. She had difficulty at a couple icy patches but overall fine. |

 | Comments: |
We did this trail entirely bareboot but probably could have used the help of micro spikes. Many icy patches on the second half of the trail and very narrow monorail on a steep slant near the summit. A lot of tree grabbing was necessary to stay upright. |
