Comments
Comments: Ammo was a mixture of dry trail, minor mud, damp ledge, and areas of running water. Not nearly as bad as it can get in the wet season, but slippery in a few places nevertheless.

The hut is still open.

The short stretch of the Crawford Path for this route is greatly improved with step stones and some drainage. Hopefully this makes it a lot better (this section is often like walking up a brook).

Monroe Loop was mostly dry.

A little windy and chilly above treeline early this evening, but still relatively mild down low. Upper elevation birch is going gold. Lower elevations are still mostly green, but getting the tint.
