Comments
Comments: The monorail began at about 4,000 ft. and lasts until you're out of the treeline. I'd estimate about .03 - .04 miles. However, it is not continuous and can be managed without traction with care. One steep section had a mix of snow and water running down that was not much fun to descend. Other than that, not bad! You will get your feet wet on the sections of monorail that cannot be avoided.

The Crawford Path was delightful. Tiny flowers beginning to bloom. I don't recall any mud or water on the Crawford Path.
