I hit the trail a little before sunrise. I went up the steep west half. the trail was in good shape. As I was about to top out, there was a guy with a Pitbull pulling on it's leash with the biggest head I've ever seen at the saddle. I went right to Star peak and waited for him to head down. The guy didn't seem to sure footed and I didn't want to follow him down incase he slipped and let the dog go. I headed west until I hit Alta then took it east. I followed it down including the reroute to the new "Y" parking lot. The Alta trail is in good shape too. My first time on the reroute and at the new parking area. I was expecting more from what seems like a two year project. Not trying to be negative. I was just hoping for maybe a restroom or a couple benches or ?? From there I took Max Delta and Cross Cut back to Hau'Pal. Max Delta and Cross Cut are in good shape for the parts I hiked on. Hau'Pal is pretty rocky until almost to the parking lot. A few people on the first part of Hau'Pal. Nobody on Alta, Max Delta or Cross Cut. A dozen or so on the second part of Hau'Pal. Nice hike, weather, and company albeit a lot of talking! :D :y: HAZ ROCKS!!
