 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Hats off to the crew who's been working on this popular loop. I may have seen the couple who were doing the work---had Forest Service caps and were picking up trash along the route. There is a small, sink-hole forming not far after the first water crossing. Not a problem now but should be watched. Its approximately 6" deep and 2 feet in diameter. Looks like some heavy down pours hit this earlier. |

Quite a few hikers seen today. Excellent trail work done recently! I just wanted to post a heads up about the sink hole that formed recently. |
