Sunday, 9/2/2012 Trail Conditions: We stayed on the trails the whole way. Water crossings were low enough to rock hop. Trails were dry except for the mile or so from the base of the slide, which had some good boot-sucking mud. Slide was mostly dry except for the upper section in the trees...

Date of Hike: 5/27/2012 Trail Conditions: Mostly dry. Some minor mud in a few places. Still a bit of snow and ice in the Subway, but didn't pose any issues. Surprisingly few black flies. No major blowdowns. Airline and Shortline are in great shape. Valley Way was more eroded, but I guess that's...
