Be Aware Of
  • Blowdowns
  • Bridge out
  • Water on trail
  • Snow on trail

The road to the trail head is in decent condition overall. The first few miles through the clear cuts have potholes, a few of them deep. The unpaved section is smooth and the paved section after it is even smoother until the last few miles where there is the occasional debris and a good amount of snow (single lane wheel ruts exist).

The trail itself is smooth sailing except for a few parts that have turned into creeks until past the first camp at the river. After that the snow varies from non-existent to 5+ feet in some sections. Most of the time it was at least 3 feet deep. There are tracks in the snow that are generally easy to follow for at least 3 miles past the first camp. There is minor blow down on the trail, a few trees, but mostly small branches that require some contortion to get through (especially with all the snow). You will fall in the snow and you will get wet on this trail so be prepared.
