The trail is in nice shape. There are a few tighter spots that washed my legs super clean today so a haircut would be nice. The bog bridges, albeit creative in places, are holding up well. |

Rhynnie was having a great time but she is super experienced. Less experienced doggos may need a boost on some of the scrambles. |

I knew it was supposed to rain until 9am but having done these in the rain before I was fine with that. I actually like the footing on the ski trails better when they are wet. The rain did provide better traction. The WRT was wet and muddy and stayed that way the whole morning. The rain didn't let up until I was back at D for the second time (OAB due to no car spot). With care the rocks were managed without any slips or falls. The muddy sections were super muddy. There are rocks and logs and limbs placed here and there to help you keep your feet dry but be sure to poke anything you think is a rock to be sure it is. That gray looking mud gets me everytime and there may have been hooting once or twice. It was so nice to see Heather and Rhynnie doing a Cats and Carters hike and I saw quite a few more hikers than I expected on a rainy socked in morning. It cleared up nicely and I had all the views heading back down the ski trails to my car, proving once again that the early bird only seems to get the spider webs. :P |
