I was thinking about heading up the CFT next weekend, ideally avoiding the crowds, and to get my feet broken in, a fairly low- altitude hike, and a couple nights outside. The original plan had me dayhiking today to check out the trail, but obviously I'm working on a computer, inside. What does the trail look like? snow, creeks, etc. Is it reasonable to show up to get a permit Saturday morning,by mgreene - General Discussion
