When it comes to trail safety, there are four reasons why you can't rely on our books or our web information. First, trails change.
Hillsides erode, trees fall down and signs change.
In winter, some trails are impassable. Second, the map is not the trail. No matter how descriptive our map or text is, it can't describe every feature, root, rock or rut. Third, there are errors in our descriptions. Fourth, our descriptions may not apply to you.
