 | Comments: |
As noted above the trails were in good shape. There were some wet sections of trail and mud spots. As is often the case, there are a couple of mud areas just below the summit of South Hancock in some low spots on the ridgeline. Near the summit of Mt Hancock there is a small side trail which leads to a small campsite. As always, there are some loose rocks on the steep sections on the Hancock Loop trail. |
