Signs all in good shape and only one area on Lend a Hand that required some "trail limbo" |  |  |  |  | Dog-Related Notes: | Our pup did great - very dog friendly trails! |  |  |  |  | Bugs: | Hardly any but still put spray on.  Massive humidity meant we sweat it off soon and still didn't get bit. |  |  |  |  | Lost and Found: |  |  |  |

|  |  |  | Comments: | A great day on the trails.  Did a car drop with one parked at Zealand trail head and one at Hale Brook to save the mile walk down.  Not a lot of water options until Zealand Hut/Falls so pack accordingly. |  |  |  |  | Name: | AMR |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: |  |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2018-08-04 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
