Mt. Jackson, Mt. Pierce via Webster-Jackson Trail, Webster Cliff Trail, Crawford Path
Date of Hike: Friday, July 25, 2008
Trail Conditions: Mud, running water, standing water
Special Equipment Required: None
Comments:
Webster-Jackson Trail to Mt. Jackson - very wet - standing water/mud on the flats, running water down the trail on the pitches. Large blowdown a few minutes after the Elephant Head junction. Summit ledges dry thanks to sun. First significant brook crossing was tricky, as it required a hop from one wet ledge to another. Bugs no problem.
Webster Cliff Trail to Mt. Pierce - also wet, some standing water/mud on the non-south exposed flats, some of the bogwalks were partially submerged (but hoppable), some running water on the pitches. No blowdowns, bugs no problem.
Crawford Path to 302 - wet, flats somewhat muddy, pitches had running water. No blowdowns, bugs no problem. Gibbs Falls very impressive today!
Said trails may be in better shape tomorrow, but they certainly can't take much more rain in the near future!
