**The "Waterfall" sign at the trailhead is no longer there. Additionally, the "shortcut" sign is also no longer present**
This was a vacation day FKT 😁. I scoped out this trail a few weeks (ish) ago with the intention of coming back relatively soon to attempt the FKT. I arrived at the parking area, and because it's Friday, and the weekend forecast is beautiful (oh and it's crown land), there was only 1 parking spot left. I nabbed that quickly.
After a little warmup, I was on trail running at 10:20AM. My heart rate was immediately high...but I managed to stay calm and enjoyed the backcountry trail. I made a few very minor navigation errors but because my watch was on map mode the entire time, I was able to course correct immediately. I do not recommend attempting this FKT without a navigational tool. There are yellow blazed everywhere and it just gets really confusing without a reference.
All in all, any time on trail is a great time.
