 | Comments: |
Trails had frequent patches of flowing water and mud.
The Loop Trail had deteriorated monorail in large sections especially between the 2 peaks. I wore spikes which helped me stay upright, but many other hikers were bare booting and doing fine. Maybe the last time I use spikes this spring. |
