In general I agree with Darth Stiller's assessment of the trails. North Peak is steep and you may lose the trail a few times but It can be followed and is in about the same condition as 4 years ago. The Mazatzal Divide trail is easy going and in good shape as many AZT sections seem to be. The upper sections of Rock Creek are overgrown and very difficult to follow. The views on this route were good all around and I even found a chocolate egg in Rock Creek. The HAZ egg hunt was a tough one. ;) I took 4 quarts of fluids but ran low so I drank a treated quart from Rock Creek. The worst part for me was the constant tripping because my pants or shoe strings caught on a limb, rock or fallen tree. The Mazatzals are always an adventure.
