Palisades, Little Ranger Peak via Ranger Creek, White River & Snoquera Falls Loop — Sunday, Apr. 21, 2024

Found a pair of microspikes on the trail. If you lost some on one of the trails I ran please write a comment with where you lost them and a description of them (brand, color, etc), and I will re-unite you with your spikes. 

I ran the Snoquera falls loop actually on Saturday, and Palisades Cliff trail, Ranger Creek trail and White River trail loop on Sunday.

Snoquera Falls: trail is in generally good condition, with 2 downed trees close to the top (doing the loop clockwise) going up. A large 20" tree is across the trail coming down, less than 1/4 mile from the WR trail (and the trail that connects to the Camp Shepherd trailhead parking.

WR trail: good condition, with 2 easy step-over trees between Camp Shepherd and the Snoquera falls trail (heading West from CS).

Palisades: no obstacles in the first half, then a few trees down above 3900 ft, including a rotten leaner above the trail that's definitely a hazard on a windy day. Once you get to the burnt area at 5000ft it's an obstacle course. About 60 trees down before the junction with Ranger Creek trail. Snow started at around 4500 ft.

Ranger Creek trail: snow near the top, about 25 trees down in the upper half, above Little Ranger viewpoint trail. Tread on upper switchbacks needs work.
