Trail is rugged due to low traffic and low maintenance. Map skills my be of good use.
I rate this hike as rugged Because of many blow downs, stream crossings (trail sometimes becomes part of the stream), uneven/slanting trail, trail is over grown and easy to get turned around on.
Positive highlights: Lots of Rhododendrons. complete solitude. Lots of green moss and the feeling of being deep into the wilderness.
Water sources looked to be plentiful most or all year and camping is leave no trace.
P.S.
road to get to the trail head is dirt/gravel. Lots of pot holes, and narrow. Take caution and enjoy 😉
