Check levels before going. We brought water shoes and extra pair of socks. Water flowing, but felt great and easily crossable. Water came under my knees and I'm 5'4" |

Lots of blow downs and lots of mud. Not well mai trained. NO BLAZES, but cairns on slide trail. Got lost due to no blazes or cairns after second water crossing. Stay right! We placed heavy branches to block trail. |

| Comments: |
Suggest leaving pack and poles at bottom of slide and go up, but bring water and nutrition. Slide took us 1 hour up and down.
We have hiked almost all 48 and typically our book time is less than average.
The slog in and out- is what it is. It's essentially a very flat hike except for slide.
It wasn't as bad as we thought or read about. |
