The KPT is very wet, but even when the trail runs in common with a stream bed, it is nearly always possible to stay dry by rock-hopping. The rocks were wet and slippery in today's rain but should dry soon. One large blowdown about halfway up with a fast-developing herd path on its left. I cleared a number of smaller blowdowns but some medium-sized ones remain. The path is usually easy enough to follow and well-blazed when it is not. A couple of tiny patches of snow remain and you all but have to walk through one of them for about 10 feet, but it won't be around much longer.
Other trails taken (Basin/Cascades, Cascade Brook, Fishin' Jimmy, Kinsman Ridge to the summits) are in fine shape but muddy due to the rain. No bugs due to all of the rain.
