 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The crowing of the Dry River just above the falls would be difficult if the water was any higher (rain on Friday night). |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A couple of annoying duck under blow downs. The sign for the Mt Clinton Tr has been replaced (nice new ones here). The rerouted sections of trail since Irene are more like a herd path than a trail. |

not a bad hike for fido. Plenty of water, although a few scrambles. |

surprisingly few. |

 | Comments: |
The rerouted sections are more herd path than trail. A couple of areas which climb straight up soil slopes have widened to about 4 feet already, as hikers look for better footing. With the amount of traffic this trail gets, I think more structure will be needed here. The shelter is still in good shape. I noticed duct tape on the underside of the roof in a couple of spots, but no rain made it through Friday night. |
