We didn't plan on going very far, but we only got a mile in before finding the trail had been completely washed out.(This was on the Northern end.) It did look like you could bush wack your way through to connect to the trail again, but we didn't feel like putting in that much effort. We drove to the other trailhead to hike as far as the Anderson Creek crossing, but didn't even make it that far because of another wash out about a mile in.

Thank you so much for this TR! I had a backpacking trip planned there this week but cancelled after reading it. Hopefully they are able to figure out a solution for at least one of the washouts. It really sounds like a beautiful trail.
