 | Comments: |
Trails and ledges were dry. Rock Cave Trail junction not marked and trail itself has a minimal footbed and a few ribbons marking the way. Crosscut Saw Trail had barely any footbed and no markings. Crosscut Saw was a disappointment - map said the tree grew around the saw, but all I saw was a rusty saw blade nailed to a tree. |
