11 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
Hiked with my grandmother EC trail to the wilderness boundary. The trail was mostly snow-free until about High Bridge (3.3 miles in), then a few inches of slush. Everything was dripping wet - the trees, the mossy walls, the skies a little bit. But waterfalls were in full force & there are dozens of seasonal falls right now. Having the trail almost to ourselves was a special treat, we've seen less than 10 other people all day.
