Very comfortable trails for dogs. Saw many. |

None really. Chilly start and light breezes all day made bugs a non issue. |

 | Comments: |
Trails in great shape. Very dry with only a few mud/wet areas. The only real issue was a fairly large double blow down as you're leaving the semi-clear blow down patch with the views as the trail cuts across the ridge to the North side of the crest. Second tree had a herd path going around that is on some shaky ground with holes in the tree routes that made footing a little awkward/shifty. Some loose rocks in the boulders on Jewell approaching Gulfside. |
