Arrived at TH 7:30am, only a few people on the trail at start. Steady climb for a while, then at the water crossing the first bridge is in need of repair and we deemed it not safe to cross the bridge and instead we hiked across the little creek, easily done with boots. I show a picture of the first bridge. Then comes the switchback climb for about a mile straight up to the junction to the final connector trail. The connector trail has a large tree blow-down across it. We stepped over branches through mud off trail to get through it, very do-able in boots. Picture of tree is also attached. Arrived to a spectacular view at the top! 3.5 hours total hike time. Trail conditions are good, however trail maintenance is needed for the bridge and tree issues. Mushrooms popping up everywhere!
