After crossing North Fork(?) the hike up to the slide is moderate. After arriving at the slide at 12 p.m we had a pick-a-nic basket with me and Boo Boo.
After we crossed the base of the slide, the real work began.
We arrived at the junction with the red trail at 1 pm, summit 130pm. left summit at 2 p.m. back at car 630pm.
The trail was typical I guess, muddy in some areas, running brook in others.
No snow or ice on top.
Gators are a must, microspikes in case.
I would have been VERY disappointed if I had taken the slide up, for no other reason than the thickness of the vegetation above, it would not have been enjoyable bushwack over to the trail for me.
The slide was free from snow and ice, but there was a lot of water coming down it.
It was a good day.
