We have done this hike many times and begin at the old TH 0.1 miles north of the bridge crossing the Gray Wolf River on FSR 2870. We feel the 2 miles to the junction of the new trail is pettier than starting at the new TH which is about 1 1/2 miles further north on FSR 2870. The trail was clear of blowdowns for the first 2 1/2 miles thanks to the Gray Wolves who cleared the many blowdowns in February that began about a 1/4 mile from the river after 2 mile camp area. There are a few more trees across the trail to Cliff Camp, but all are passable. The trillium were beginning to bloom along with many yellow violets. There was a small area where the fawn lily were beginning to bloom. We saw 2 backpackers who were camping at Cliff Camp, a lone lady day hiker, and a group of 4. We hiked to the washout of the former log stringer bridge--about 4.5 miles one way.
