Several rock-hops that were a bit challenging as the streams were running high, from significant rain a few days earlier. |

| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Good, but the steep section just below So. Doubletop is better ascended than descended, in my view. More wet sections than I remembered, but the heavy rains a few days before must have affected that. |
