    		Lower Mica Peak Trail is part of Evergreen's 2026 Dirty dozen. https://www.trailforks.com/badges/view/208865/. Very nice climbing trail. Suggest to do the Liberty Lake loop including "switchbacks and falls" which is spectacular.

    		Trees down on lower section. Heard that there might be a larger group of trees down on the upper section as well. Watch speed on blind sections until a good samaritan takes care of things.
