The hike started out with the goal of 10 of us getting to the lean-to. The weather cooperated, with snow on and off throughout the day. Crossing the beaver dam was a breeze with the log placements. Most of the trail was wet, making frequent diversions around pools of water, and crossing multiple streams along the way.
We were stopped about a mile short of the lean-to due the Priests Vly outlet running fast. The group made a decision not to attempt to cross, worrying someone would wind up in the drink. We ate lunch and headed back with everyone enjoying the day. 10 completed the 6.5 miles. We’ll attempt the lean-to again on a warmer day.
