Beautiful sunny day to hike up to the lookout. Parking lot was over crowded with cars parking down the road. Sign at the trailhead say bridges removed for the winter. I continued to the Rocky creek and attempted to cross. Someone has placed a log over the first arm of the creek which I crossed no problem. The log on the second arm was a lot riskier. Since I had my 2 year old on my back I decided not to attempt it, but many people made it no problem. I talked to some forest service people working on the trail about the early removal of bridges and they said they were removed early because early termination of contacts (this week is the last week) and the forest staff had to prep the bridges for helicopter removal. I wonder where all the user fee money is going if they have to remove bridges before summer is over. Headed over to Watson Lakes.
