Sun Rays Light the Way

The brisk 2 mile, early morning hike-in was filled with beautiful views of the crisp forest waking up to the sun. The trail was in pretty good condition save for a couple un-marked intersections; which you’ll soon enough figure lead to the low-water trail which means many river fords. So my advice: always take the high route.

Very Nice

Moondipper had much less silt than when I was here last, probably due to summer usage – last time I was one of the first spring visitors. Not bad for a soak all in all – but why not wander less than a quarter mile further up a faint path to Pine Burl; which is a much nicer soak.
