Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Saw a few. Seemed to be doing fine, there was certainly plenty of water for them below treeline. 
Bugs
Bugs: Very bad in parking lot at start and end of hike. Not too bad above treeline due to nice breeze. Very bad on descent to trailhead.

Comments
Comments: The first 1 1/2 or so miles is fine. Nice dry trail. After that...wet, wet, wet. First the trail just becomes muddy with wet rocks everywhere. Then, the trail has running water on the ledges and trail making for a very slick footpath. Very tedious on descent. All above treeline sections were dry and a pleasure to hike on.
