Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: On herd path to Precipice, on the Precipice waterfall, at the bottom of the Anna descent, and at the bottom of the Anna-Goat Pasture, all rock hoppable. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: No new blowdowns on Precipice (some old stepovers). No blowdowns on BRT. Took out one blowdown near the upper water crossing on Anna-Goat Pasture. One 18" diameter stepover remains just above the caves. One minor stepover below there. Upper Anna-Goat Pasture needs a lot of shrub brushing; thick gloves needed due to sharp pine needles.

Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry with minor mud. Note that Precipice Path is now blazed in purple. Also note that this loop, while having views from Precipice, does not have views from Anna; the Anna views can be found by descending the Anna-Old Stage trail.
