The bridge is gone but the boulder below make a great bridge until the water rises.
First trip of the new year. Road to trail is blocked by a large pile of snow about 3/4 of a mile from the trailhead. The road past the snow pile is hard packed and its best to stay out of the ruts because they get pretty ciy and slippery at times. There is a sign at the trailhead that warns of a bridge out and trail damage. The trail is hard packed snow the whole way and its a pretty easy hike to the slide area. The bridge is gone once you get to the waterslide, but there are large boulders that made walking accross very easy. We stopped here and explored up the creek bed to look at some ice formations and the falls just above the waterslides. We did not follow the trail up the path to Keekwulee or snowshoe Falls, but there were snowshoe tracks heading in that way and I would think that is the best way to access the upper parts of the trail as the snow was getting deeper and less beaten once we got to the waterslide.
