Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Parked right off the road on 302, there isn't really a parking lot. We were the third card there and there was really only room for three of us. The other two cars were there when we finished and when we started though.

Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Lots. Many many stream crossings along the way. The river crossing between Mt. Clinton and Dry River was crossable, but don't even think about doing it if it has rained a lot recently. You quite literally need to walk in the middle of the river for 0.2 miles or so for this crossover. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Do not expect anything over then Crawford Path to be maintained frequently. Dry River was fun unmaintained and Mt. Clinton was lame unmaintained. Blow downs, eroded river banks, slippery rocks, all that good stuff.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Wouldn't recommend on anything other than Crawford Path. 
Bugs
Bugs: Not bad! Just moths in the headlamp of course.

Comments
