The lower 1.5 miles of Capps Ridge will need some hand saw work. There are 3-4 decent sized blow downs that take some work to get around. |

 | Comments: |
Conditions are wet but manageable. Still some monorails on the upper part of Ammo, but otherwise clear of ice and snow. Lots of running water on every trail.
Capps Ridge was in better shape than expected and Boundary trail was a mossy mile of fun.
Overall, wet but manageable conditions. Minimal ice or snow other than a small stretch on Ammo. |
