Colden via Lake Arnold Trail 7/15
Fortunately, the other trail up Colden is operational, so I left from the Loj and climbed the east side of Colden. The trail was actually very muddy and wet, with several slippery rocks and deep puddles. As a gaiters-enjoyer I felt fine, but this hike would not have been fun in trail runners. There were at least 2 sections with knee deep(for me as a 6’6” guy) mud and risky sticks to walk over it. Unfortunately I didn't have time to investigate the mud slide on avalanche pass, but I’m grateful for the HikeADK alert yesterday because otherwise I would have had an unpleasant surprise on my hike.
