|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Easy two-rock crossing of Avalanche Brook at start of Mt. Tripyramid Trail. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Not much you can do to "maintain" the North Slide section of the Mt. Tripyramid Tr. The steep top part of the Pine Bend Brook Trail, on my descent, was more eroded than I recall - maybe "4K trail syndrome"? Livermore Trail (Road) has been freshly graded and would be fine for any vehicle, if they could use it. The even surfaces of the Scaur Ridge Trail were a welcome respite - it wouldn't appear to get much use. |

 | Comments: |
The North Slide section lived up to its reputation and took me a long time. I appreciated the dry rocks and absence of other hikers, who could easily dislodge rocks even if careful. |
