We got lucky and had a beautiful day for this hike. Lots of downed tree's after mile 2 in various places, but nothing a little creativity couldn't get around. Only one that we had to go a little off trail for, and since it disturbed no vegetation to do so, we went ahead. No snow on trail, though very muddy in places. There was a washout/landslide that we were able to traverse safely just after the campground area. This was our first time hiking this trail, so we found out from another hiker that had passed us earlier the trail was washed out about a 100-200 yards from the end. He made it past, but we didn't even realize that was the trail. This was where we turned around. My roommate who was with me, said she could see a washed out bridge from where we turned around, so we were really close.
