What trail did you take? Start time?
The Van H. Trail ... Loj to dam to top.
Started around 10 a.m.
Regarding water: It was very wet and muddy. You can't keep your feet dry for long.
In some areas, there's water flowing down the trail. There are also puddles you can't avoid. And some of the planks that are mounted over the wetter areas will give when you step in them, dunking your foot when you least expect it.
If it is warmish and you have the right shoes and socks, that's one thing.
If it is cold, you'd better be used to functioning with frigid feet.
Fun, though.
