 | Comments: |
The Rocky Branch Tr. was fairly dry to the height of land. There were a few dry areas along the old railroad bed. The trails after that were wet and soggy. We encountered quite a few areas of deep standing water, running water and muck. This has got to be my least favorite hike in all of the Whites. |
