May 19th – A couple trees have fallen over the on the trail about half a mile in, so you have to do a little climbing over or under the large trunks and branches but other than that the trail was great!
ONLY THING! The gate 2.14 miles away from the the Avalanche Creek trail head was closed. Myself and a friend had to walk the 2 miles to then get to the trail head. It was unexpected but did not deter us from having a great day outdoors.
