Ideal day for an early spring hike; low overcast and a steady drizzle. A perfect day for people that like crowds even less than rain.Then the sun came out and I was nearly blinded by the spectacular multitude of brilliant greens.
The trail was pleasant and easy to follow except for fallen trees, lots and lots of fallen trees. Where the trail first reaches the river a number of trees have fallen/slid into the river, completely obliterating the trail. Also, the bridge over Beaver Lake has had a section smashed out of the middle. Both areas are passable with difficulty.
When it is cloudy/rainy the forest is dim, quiet and somber; but when the sun came out it was alive with birds and the sound of frogs. A wonderful hike for starting the tune up for summer.
