 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Heading down the North Twin trail, everything is a soggy mess. NOTE: the Little River ain't so little right now. It's very swollen, deep, and moving fast. In short, the river crossings are dangerous. Consider alternate approaches to the Twins.
All the other wet stuff on the trail was minor. FWT was wet in its lower drainages, but easily passed without too much trouble. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails were in fine shape. There were some blow-downs near the summit, but easily managed with a folding saw and modest effort. |

 | Comments: |
It was a fine day out. Had the mountain to myself. FWT is easily followed, and not hard to find in the first place.
A lengthier report with photos is on my blog. |
