Seeing the original trail (as we were finishing the new) I can well appreciate the difficulty of this strenuous initial ascent—and perhaps some reconsideration of decision to do this hike.  Hope you can get out on this trail again, soon, and better enjoy the initial ascent as well as what follows.

John, thanks for all your hard work. Sounds like y’all did a great job!

Not as steep and strenuous getting up on top of initial ridge. 7 switchbacks, 157 log steps, 2 log bridges, and 3 trail relocation sections will hopefully make better hiking experience at the start. Area is quite beautiful. Enjoy. John B
