== Typical Conditions ==
== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
The trail's biggest challenge are the multiple crossing, which are easy rock hoppers except after periods of high rainfall. Being along a creek, the trail is muddy in several places, thus outdoor shoes are recommended.  The rhododendron which lines the trail provides a showy display of blooms in the spring; however, it also encroaches on the path, thus needs regular trimming back.
