Mountaineers trip there was wet but fun seeing all the moss, the river, mushrooms, big trees, and so forth.
Road Condition: Highway 530 was bare and wet all the way past Darrington [Tip: Check Darrington High webcam to get an idea of trail conditions -- it's at 500 ft elev. and the trail's at 600 ft]. Debris on the road suggested in a couple places fallen greenery has recently been removed.
Trail condition: Flooding earlier this December didn't impact this trail. Trail was open and passable. At the north trailhead there is a tree down the length of the trail as the trail bends to the right (see pic).
There are 1/2 dozen blowdowns but they aren't hard to navigate except one that's a bit low (see other pic).
