Water on Ammo was a little high but no problem. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few spots on Gulfside where at least 2 paths. Several places on upper Jewell very bad with 3 to 5 eroded paths. AT least 5 blowdowns on Jewell (2 were duck unders). Drainage on upper half needs fixing. Several places need brushing. Trail takes a beating. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Not a trip for dogs. Just my opinion. Too many sharp rocks for many miles and little water along ridge. |

none |

There was a small pack rain cover in first mile of Jewell from road. |

 | Comments: |
Saw lots of people. All were trying to be good. Ran into Pepper again. Twice in about a month. Water available at Lakes and summit. Trip to Washington was sunny. Clouds were pushing up from Great Gulf once I hit Gulfside. Short views but nice for hiking. |
