The trail is in great shape until you reach Pyrites Creek. Between Pyrites and Lamata there are about 10 trees over the trail. None of them present any great problems and don't slow you down very much. The creek crossings are very easy. If it wasn't for slippery rocks, Graves Creek would be a rock hop. Both crossings are less than knee deep. The weather was clear and warm. Biting flies were a problem, no mosquitos. The valley was changed quite dramatically by the winter of 98-99. You will be quite shocked by the changes. Many of the evergreen trees in the valley are gone. There was a bear wandering camp early last week, according to the ranger, but most bears have gone up high to eat the berries which have started to ripen.
