The climb trail is manageable, but goes on forever. Meadow of the Grizzly is long with lots of bermed turns and great views. Half Nelson and the Pseduo-Tsuga’s are the best.

Wet, but a good kind of wet today. One of the small bridges around midway has a broken board. The lower section after the Full Nelson crossing is in great shape!
