Just realized the trail to Lake Serene is way more dangerous than the guidebooks say.
Did the hike near Index, Washington last weekend. The final mile is basically a rock scramble now. Saw a huge section of the main path just gone, washed out from spring runoff. Almost slipped twice on loose gravel where the trail should be. Anyone else been up there recently and know if the forest service is planning repairs?

Seriously? It's a mountain trail, not a sidewalk. That area always gets rough after winter. A little rock scramble is pretty normal for that hike, makes it fun. People expect everything to be perfectly safe, but that's just not how the outdoors works. The forest service can't fix every single washed out spot instantly.
