Seeking a trail report from the past 2 years for the Melton, Crooked Creek/Third Creek/Trout Creek trails. Anyone? Bueller?

How about you just lace up those boots and get after it. Is some report a guy gives you on here really going to dictate weather you hike in or not. The amount of time your going to waste looking on here to find out what someone says. You could of looked up an accurate and recent trail report. If your that worried about the unit that you need a trail report maybe you shouldn't be wasting time in it. Sack up and get after it

Can you imagine being stuck all day in a boat with him? It would take more than Jack to sign up for that abuse.

Game sightings, trail conditions for a certain time of year, water availability, trail popularity, bigfoot sightings...

I asked for 2 years because those trails don't get a lot of use, so information that is 2 years old may be stale, but might also help me. A trail report could possibly tell me how many trees are on the trail that have not been cut out or tread condition. I'm considering running the trails and the number of trees on the trail can significantly alter the run time.

I didn't realise that asking a simple question could be so offensive. Or that what I want to do or how I do it could get someone else's panties all knotted up.

Shawn Ryan,
While I agree with most that your best bet is putting your boots to the ground for the best information, I did spend some time there several weeks ago. Your asking about quite a huge area if you wanting repots on all those trails tho. I hiked in from Three Forks trailhead to the bottom and cross-country hiked from there. When you get from the bottom you can either cross the creek up and over Packer Creek which is in good shape. Crooked creek bridge/crossing is completely gone not far past the Packer Creek turnoff. The trail in the bottom peters out completely just past the Forest Service cabin at the beginning of First Creek. It appears like you could cross the creek, however Im not sure if there is a trail on the other side.
Best of luck, but again, your best bet is to check them out for yourself and I don't mean that offensively...I mean they change quickly and with the burn spots in A LOT of that area the trees your concerned about "being in the trail" could be a reality at any time.
