 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
We thought ranger trail was in fairly poor condition. Majority of it is fairly washed out and/ or muddy. Not many trees down but this was not an enjoyable trail and could use some help. Otherwise some areas on Lamber Ridge trail and J trail were a bit overgrown but not too bad. |

 | Comments: |
Went up Lambert Ridge to the fire tower, cleared out just in time to get nice views from there. Along J trail to the summit. And then back down via the Ranger trail. Lambert ridge trail was in great condition. Ranger trail, as mentioned previously, was not enjoyable. |
