|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Swift River Road kind of sucks. Do NOT do with low clearance. One section looked close to a washout, lots of sharp (and large) rocks in the road. Takes some skill to get down. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Significant |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
There was 5 of note. The first one is the hardest. There is a tree to uphiller's right to shimmy over though- or rock hop if you're tall. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some blowdowns up by the campsite. Lower portions so so so muddy- not a water bar in sight, but in the same breath it wasn't really steep enough that they'd do much. Marked well though. |

 | Bugs: |
Not too bad, but i found a tick on my shoulder (starting to embed) at the top |

3 miles of la-de-da followed by about 1.3 of OMG. Gain 1700 in the last portion- it's sort of nuts! Really beautiful though. As far as talus goes, this stuff was secure. I appreciated that. Beginning was so muddy, top was hard but way more awesome. Nice hazy views up top. Will return on a clearer day!
Report down there too. |
