There were actually many parts of the evergreen forest that you could not have been able to tell if you were in the Sierra Nevadas or in a Texas pine forest.
There were some fun parts of the trail where they had built up long cat walks over the swampy areas and there were a lot of bridges over the washes and streams. Overall it was a very well maintained trail.
When I hike it again, I will take a fishing pole and bait along with me, several promising fishing holes along the way. That and mouse traps, the little buggers were driving us nuts. The positive was that it made getting up at 0600 real easy as I was never really asleep.
