The trail from the head of the valley up to Rachael Lake has always been bad, but now it is worse. This was my third or fourth hike up there, and I'm disappointed to see how badly conditions have deteriorated. Due to poor trail design (if there was any design), heavy use, and serious erosion the trail from the head of Box Canyon valley up to Rachael Lake has become a steep scramble over roots and rocks. Coming downhill it is actually dangerous.
If the Forest Service ever obtains any money for trail reconstruction, I hope this segment is high on the list. It is worse than the old scramble up to Mason Lake that was finally replaced with a new route. The same thing needs to happen here.
