The Whites Creek Trail North loop is well-traveled, easy on your feet, and easy to follow, with modest elevation changes. It got a lot warmer, and I switched to my hiking kilt to keep cool and make the creek crossings easier. Dry Prong, once again, didn’t live up to its name and was running well.

The trail might have been easy, but there were many downed limbs and lots of debris on the trail. Clearing the trail as I went slowed me down significantly.
