Difficulty

Easy trail, some lowland areas have minor puddles but were no issue to cross when mapped. Some areas have "floating bridges" or boardwalk-type construction to get access through low areas. Trail width is the only reason for the difficulty rating of 2.

Trail was in good shape, little dusty later in the day. Still some fall yellow/gold colors from the maple trees.
