Comments
Comments: A beautiful summer-ish day. On trail for 5 hours total with about 4 hrs of moving time. We did the loop clockwise, hitting Shaw, Black Snout, then Big Ball. Big Ball Trail looks freshly blazed with blue. The steep descent from Black Snout on Big Ball Trail is the only area where I'd say the trail might be hard to follow, but the blazes are frequent and fresh.
