Road access great however - be advised that when hiking from the Fishery, there are specific times the gate is opened/closed and this should be factored into hiking time/distance. |

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
River crossings were a bit tricky. Had to go off trail to locate safe places to cross and needed poles for support while crossing. Not terrible - just needed to take time to figure out the safest crossing. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Considerable blowdowns to navigate. Most were between North Weeks and South Weeks. Need to be careful not to lose the trail when bypassing these. No summit signs - used elevation on watch to determine summits of North & Middle. South had a small cairn. |

 | Comments: |
There are no summit views during this hike so probably best to pick a socked in day for this. Be sure to note the small spur trail off Kilkenny Ridge trail to the summit of South Weeks (small cairn noting summit).
We were able to bare boot this hike as the snow was minimal. We carried spikes but never needed them. Did make for slippery downhill conditions and wiped out more than a few times. |
