The trail was in good conditions. On the first [[Suiattle River Trail]] section there was a handful of blowdowns, but nothing too tricky. The Vista ridge trail has a large number of blowdowns, some large and hard to cross. It used energy and some are a little exposed. The views of [[Miners Ridge]] are great. The campsite at Vista Ridge has a great view north and east. I was surprised to see quite a lot of larch trees on the ridge of Gamma Peak. Water was a bit of a challenge this time of the year. You really need to fill up before you get high. I also tried to get to Grassy Point but the trail there is mostly non existent. I was a bit tired and decided to not pursue it to the end, expecting some tedious side-hilling.
