 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
For the most part, the trail is clear, with a handful of large trees (step-overs) down low. Approaching the summit however, it's a mess. Generally okay in terms of getting through, but one spot required a few minutes of recon to figure out where the path went (both climbing and descending). |

Saw plenty flying around, but none biting (except a lone mosquito when I was in sight of the end of the trail). |

 | Comments: |
Tougher than I expected. It was my first time on this trail, and I kept thinking I was nearing the summit, only to have the trail drop into a col then starting climbing again. But I had a perfect blue-sky day for the hike and only ran into three other hikers. |
