What I liked: campsites
What I disliked: the kek was extreamly marshy from all the rain, which made hiking very slow, and parts of the trail and campsites next to rivers and lakes were flooded. the blow down was also horendous, in places it was so bad that we had to crawl under it on our hands and knees, which is rather difficult with a heavy pack. there is also some sort of bush with thorns on it that grows along side the trail that tears up your legs and arms.
