 | Comments: |
A loop hike with a north south traverse of Dorr. Weather this day was clearing thought hot - by the summit fog gone and the sun was out! A little mud on the Hemlock trail, some wet rocks heading up North Ridge trail but only a slick spot or two otherwise dry - South Ridge and Canon Bokk trails dry. Kane Path runs alongside a series of beaver ponds which beaver activity is now causing water to cover some stretches of the trail and causing a lot of mud. Some of the bog bridges need to be moved and/or replaced. Great stone paving along the Tarn. |
