NOTE to Trail workers: Great tree clearing work has been done on this trail but one large tree remains across the trail at about 3 miles. Hikers have been going up and over on the left side of the trail but if this could get cut out it would be great. The other downed tree has been made passable by hikers going to the left and around the root side. Thanks Trail Workers!
Followed another hiker's suggestion in a previous trip report and drove a little farther up the road to the Lebar trail head. Much better warm up on this trail instead of the hefty switchbacks from the lower trail head. Vault toilet still NOT OPEN at lower trail head. Does it open at Memorial Day?
Perfectly sunny mild day for this hike. Went about 4.84 miles in and over 4 real bridges (not small helper bridges or logs) and multiple small streams. We were trying to get to the "Old Camp" and a secret trail down to the river for lunch spot. Didn't find either and we searched pretty hard. Decided to call it, have lunch and head back. Glorious hike with everything green and growing. Very nice trail for both distance and up and down leg work.
