 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The first one is right at the start and is high- you can cross on the bridge if you don't want to risk it and there is a trail back to main trail. At the end of the hike off Drakes Brook Trail is also high and you can just walk it mid-calf (which I did) or find a way to stay dry which I saw some people doing. |

Several blow-downs you can get around. Trail is not marked well but generally easy to follow. |

 | Comments: |
I should have taken someone elses advice and just gone to the bridge for the first water crossing (did the loop counter clockwise) and instead I got my first dunk in a water crossing which resulted in losing one of my poles .2 mile in. The few people I ran into on the trail either took the bridge to get over or made it just fine.
Beautiful day and view. Traction was a must once you got higher on the trail. Minus my water mishap- this is one of my most favorite hikes now! Stunning. |
