This one has been lurking in the back of my mind for a month or two. Then I saw Tynert2's trip log and that was the push I needed to go get it done. The road in has recently been graded enough so that a passenger car could easily reach the trailhead. Upon arrival I met a young couple with a pet duck (Pippin). A little odd but hey who am I to judge?

As stated before the Barnhardt Trail is in superb shape. The Divide Trail was excellent as well. As for the Y-Bar it is okay but rough by comparison. The last couple miles on the Y-Bar are in great shape but the upper 3 miles or so need some work. Wild Flowers are scattered and water was flowing on both the Barnhardt side and on the Y-Bar. I would expect it to dry up within a week or so.
