Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: These trails are easy enough to follow, but becoming overgrown. Eagle link is mainly great with some overgrowth. Wildriver has its boggy spots/rough bog bridges and blowdowns. Near perkins notch there is a set of three blowdowns that require a full crawl. Rasberries are taking over the lower part of the rainbow, but its all fairly good higher up.

Comments
Comments: We headed up onto the ridge and decened a mile and a half or so on Eagle link. From there we made a bushwhack for West baldface. Lots of glades with lots of thick low growth. I really like that peak. The canister that was there when I did it in 2012 was gone. After getting back to the link I headed to Carter Dome and down to Carter notch hut.
