|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I parked at the Barnes Camp Visitor Center; room for about 15 cars and right across from Gondola lot where Haselton Tr. comes out. Short walk up to LT trailhead which looked fairly full. |
|
| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Leaves - Significant/Slippery |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Easily walked through with current low levels; I've never seen them problematic other than slick rocks. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some impressive new bog bridges on ridge which are 3 piece wide and 2 piece thick--very solid. A couple blowdowns on Haselton which were easy walk unders; might be an obstacle in winter. Caretaker wrapping up last couple weeks with waterbar work today from Taft down to 108; greatly appreciated. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
A few spots headed up to Chin where most dogs may need help. No water up high. They ask for leash up on ridge and should have one if doing road walk (busy today). |
|
| Bugs: |
Got stung by something (wrong place at the wrong time). No issues other than this. |
