 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The three bridges on Gale River Road from trail head go as follows, 1)no bridge, hard crossing but doable, 2) bridge, walkable & 3) no bridge, easily crossable. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
blowdowns up first embankment look like they have been tended to. Not in the way of the trail, but a lot of them! Two trees across trail both easy to manuever. One you have to choose, over or under? |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
The dog had some issue with that first (and last) water crossing.She almost chickened out coming back which would have left us in a strange position. |

 | Comments: |
Has the blowdown section on the first embankment you climb been like that for long? I hiked this 9/12 this year and dont remember the significant amount of down trees. |
