| Comments: |
I recommend bringing microspikes; there are several sections with a stable monorail, including a fairly sustained section near the top. Yes, you can walk to the side, but it is very muddy in places, and it is much faster to walk on top, with spikes.
Other parts of the trail have lots of running water. Your feet are pretty much guaranteed to get wet.
I hiked this on a Friday and people were being respectful of social distancing. |
