| Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossing on lower Huntington Ravine Trail was a little tricky. Otherwise, no issues. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
No blowdowns. Nelson Crag Trail below treeline was in need of brushing. Sad to see lots of waterbars blown out on that trail, resulting in rock staircases getting undermined and washed out. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Madison had fun. Extended stretches Boott Spur Link to Lawn Cutoff, Lawn Cutoff to lower Nelson Crag Trail) without water. Lots of sharp, warm rock - she has well developed hiking pads, so she was fine, but most dogs would struggle with this loop. |
|
| Bugs: |
Some black flies above treeline if sitting. |
|
| Lost and Found: |

| Comments: |
Lots of trail segments combining into one loop. Still some snow visible in the ravine, but not skiable (undermined). Nelson Crag was rough to descend. |
