Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: The trail description says 10 water crossings, it is correct. There are actually 2 more smaller ones. Rock hopped, but some require poles and steeping on submerged rocks.

Comments
Comments: Great way to get East Sleeper since Livermore Road access is out while trail rebuilding is going on. East Sleeper spur easy to find. All up and no PUDs on this one. Easy constant grades, no steeps.
