The trail was in mostly good condition, except the warm weather made some of the creek crossings, especially up before Hardscrabble Creek pretty swift and deep.
1- the resident rattler is back near the pit vault. I didn't see it, but other hikers I talked to did. Watch your dog in that area. I heard reports of other rattlers that live near there too.
2 - about 1/2 mile beyond Hardscrabble creek area, the down has NOT been removed on the way to the lake. Be prepared to turn around or do Parkour over the jackstraw trees.
Ingalls Creek is running really high, so be careful around the water- watch your dogs!
