Thanks
to several springs coming out of the base of the
valley wall nearby, this part of the trail used
to become a small stream in the spring, flowing
from the lower left to the right between the large
trees. To avoid having to slosh 50 or 60 feet during
that time of year, the trail was moved to the right
of the trouble spot closer to the valley wall. Deadfall
is used to visually indicate the new route, and
the normal flow of the spring melt was diverted
out to Sixmile Run to the upper left by creating
a small rock wall and cutting a ditch through rock
and roots.
