As of Sun 5/29, Trail Conditions: A-Z to Avalon had minimal mud in morning, more later in day. Avalon was wet which made steep sections a little slippery but doable. Willey Ridge likewise, and had running water in eastward section from Field leading downhill to A-Z. A-Z south from WRT to Avalon was amazingly dry. Only few remnants of snow and ice tucked into gulleys on each trail.
Fabulous day despite limited views until about 3 pm on Willey and rain ascending Willey. Surprising number of folks hiking these limited view peaks, maybe everyone else thought like we did to knock them off today. Was grateful we took WRT home from Field as the steeps up Avalon didn't sound fun after a rainshower. Lots of water but flat and easy.
