Got to trailhead around 0915 on a weekday. No other cars encountered along FS roads or at the trailhead. Road in is tougher than it has been in the past, if there is another heavy rain it will only get worse. Made it up to the trailhead in about 25 mins from the Mountain Loop in our 4Runner, but wouldn’t recommend anything smaller or lower to do the same. Slow going for sure, but well worth the time.
Water level at Beaver Plant Lake was the highest we’ve seen it, couldn’t get to the boardwalks or the picnic bench. Campsites look to have recently been spruced up with new fire rings and some more established camping areas. Would love to overnight here if we had more time.
Encountered only one couple on our way back to the cars at the trailhead, overall very quiet and a great way to reset the gears. Would recommend this hike, but please make sure you have a capable vehicle, and some patience to get there.
