Only one water crossing, the water was not high despite recent rains, and was very easy by rock-hopping. |

| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is in excellent shape, only a couple of blowdowns (a spikey one on the Frost Trail). Some drainages on the Gale River Trail could use a cleaning, and there's some standing water on the Frost Trail close to the summit. The new (rerouted) section of the Gale River Trail is excellent. |
