Great trip report. I just came across ...Hi Peter, <br /><br />Great trip report. I just came across this. Very fun to read as I've been in a Stein a lot. Such a great place.<br /><br />I was through the Stein traverse in 19 hrs 51 min last week, details and a satellite tracking link are in my trip report: <br />https://intocascadia.com/2017/09/18/stein-valley-speed-record-traverse-19hrs-51min/<br /><br />An update on the trail: The eastern-most 13 km between Lytton and the Suspension bridge were improved a lot this summer by the same crew that cleared the rest last year (see the latest conditions report on the parks website).<br /><br />However, the upper valley got a fair bit worse because a wind storm shortly after you were through tossed quite a few big trees down (maybe a hundred or so). It's still pretty good going and WAY better than it was pre-2016, but there's enough new wood down that other hikers didn't believe me when I said it was all from the last 12 months.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Dan DurstonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009549535126663481noreply@blogger.com
