Arrived at the trailhead about 5pm and headed out to see how far we could get before dusk. Patches of snow and tons of blueberry bushes along the meadow. The bridge of sorts across Rocky Creek was barely functional but do-able. Then the climbing began to the junction of Scott Paul trail where the solid snow began. Got some photos and watched the fog/low clouds roll in and then turned back.

Could you give details about the condition of the bridge?

yes its basically two sheets of plywood on top of a bent log. But you can easily hop across the rocks as well.
