|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Willey Range trail from Ethan Pond trail to the summit is in rough shape. Significant erosion and wash out in places. The ladders are in bad shape with some missing/broken steps. Thankfully those are near the bottom and easy enough to deal with. But other steps are on the verge of falling apart which could make the ladders a real challenge. One blow down across the trail but easy enough to cross. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
This section of Willey Range trail would be a challenge for all but the most confident of dogs due to the ladders. |
