The park service had just recently resurfaced and regraded the gravel parking lot, so there were no issues at the trailhead. All of the trails that we hiked in the vicinity were in good shape, with no tread issues or tree blockage. There's a new pit toilet just past the gate, which was a nice surprise; get it while it's fresh!
With the current unseasonably warm and dry weather, the creek is completely dry (see pic), so there are no issues using Trail 25 immediately north of the trailhead to cross over towards Trail 411.
The early season flowers are starting to bloom in patches and the arrowleaf balsamroot is starting to shoot upwards; their blooms will happen in a couple of weeks.
