Beautiful day and beautiful views! Trail were wet and muddy all the way through. First section is steep, rocks were wet but not too slippery/difficult. There's also a nice little waterfall and a couple of ledge views. The mud really increased after the Eyebrow Trail junction. Some puddle spots have rocks across but there were countless wet places and muddy spots. Views from the tower were incredible! |
