| Comments: |
Lots of mud at the lower elevations. The Desolation trail was pretty steep and had some wet rocks that were tough to grip. The hike along Desolation trail was pretty humid, with no breeze. Most of these trails are covered with trees with the exception of the summit of Carrigain and a short bit near the top of the Signal Ridge Trail. |
