Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Welch-Dickey was in great shape, minus some erosion below the ledges. Fletcher Cascade Trail was clearly not highly travelled, but there was no concerns on the trail other than it was unmarked.

Comments: Welch-Dickey Loop, Fletcher Cascade Trail

Recommend doing both of these in a morning if you want to get in a good 8 miles relatively quickly! Took us 3.5 hours to do the cumulative 8 miles.
