Wet creek crossing
We hiked the 3.5 miles to Big Hump. There were 2 blow downs in the first mile to Little Hump--one easily gone under unless you had a full pack and one easily stepped over. After descending the 200 feet to the flat trail along the river, a beautiful bull elk ran across the trail in front of us in the maple grove shortly before the river actually comes into view. There were areas of water on the trail and several wet creek crossings, but no major blow downs from Little Hump to Big Hump, only a few small ones easily stepped over. There was no rain and we saw only 4 other people on the trail. This is a very enjoyable winter hike.
