 | Comments: |
straightback mountain trail was dry and in good shape. the range trail to anna was dry as well, but for a couple small sags with minor mud. that section of trail was reblazed sometime since last summer and it would be hard to lose at this point. blue blazes abound. nice new signs at the western precipice junction as well as just a bit in from the start of marsh crossing trail. |
