 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The start of Laughing lion is dark, narrow, not much more than a deer trail, with missing or faded blazes. Royce Trail connector and Royce Trail are wet, slippery, eroded trails. My feet kept getting stuck in the exposed roots and coming down was a slow process. Signage was well placed and helpful. |
