Alder Creek to Barley Flats

Anyone know of the trail conditions to Barley Flats? Do I need to take loppers?

My TR from end of February. I didn't "need" my loppers but they came in handy. I cleared the biggest offenders, but this springs new growth may have reclaimed some of what I cleared. Hope this helps and have fun (it'll be hot!).

Thanks HikeUp!!
Barley Flats, although not hugely remarkable in and of itself, is a place I haven't been to yet. Will go up this Saturday...

Bring your asbestos pack!

And plenty of water...

Yes, the NWS predicts temps in the 80's for Saturday. We're starting early, though. My backup plan is Vincent Gap to Prairie Fork.
