 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Dry at bottom, wet from melting snow top 20% or so. Patches of snow and monorail, but soft and barebooting was easy. Bolders still covered in snow and some ice. Saw some hikers coming down with bloody shins, but we didn't really have any problems. Summit is clear. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few blow downs at the start, already a trail around them. No real problems, although new trails are already forming and if the trees aren't cleared soon it may do some damage. |

 | Comments: |
There's still a bit of snow up high where the sun isn't hitting the trail. It isn't a problem, and there's no need for traction, but just so you know. |
