Solo, Anne in NC. Sunny and 70 to start, 80 at the end. Parked 1/2 mile before TH where road split and could turn around and park on the side as Dolly not happy with deep potholes. Trail surface easy dirt double wide with some buried boulders, made for faster hiking. Along creek going up that was washout area just like white river. Sketchy creek crossing pictured. Going down was mature fir forest with small creek rushing down and moss along the banks.
