 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All were easily rock hopable but that first one is so eroded on one side that it’s sort of a pain. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Not any blowdowns as far as I recall but I’m likely forgetting by now. Willey Range Trail is blazed in blue and Avalon Trail is blazed in... either blue or yello I forget. Neither is blazed particularly well but both are well trodden and easy to follow. The footing is not great on either. Avalaon Trail, in part due to a lot of erosion. Parts of Willey Range Trailbetqeen Willey and Field (more on the Field side) could use a brushing back.Tou definely notice it being a little grown in when the vegetation is getting you wet, haha. |

Second hike of the day to get me to 4/26 grid peaks needed for this month. 8.2mi done in just under 4hrs.
The trails started off mostly dry but I hiked through 3 showers, mostly between Field and Willey which left the trail wet on my way out so I watched my footing on slick rocks. Due to the trail being a bit overgrown at times along the ridge, this led to my pants getting pretty wet. Unfortunately there’s a good deal of erosion and poor footing on these trails. On the bright side, I guess that means less mud 🙃 |
