The trail difficulty was just as described in the book. As Kevin mentioned it before the trip, we ran the trail high to lower elevation. The gravity helped us go through many sections much easier and faster. Most of it was rocky, and lots of puddles...as you can see in the pictures. (will be posted soon.)

The timing could not have been any better. It was cold but not extremely. There was no drop of rain. And, probably no one else camping anywhere near us. There were even firewoods piled up and waiting for us.

When moving fast w/ a very small group, you an get the the campground in 1 hour from where the trail sign was. And, about 1.5 hours from the campground to the end of the trail.

This trip happened to be one of the most stress free camping trip I have done.

Thanks everyone for joining, and making this trip fun.
