This portion seems less steep to hike than to drive up the Mount Gleason
Road which is never very far away.

The usual brush and sideslipping, which sometimes look related - uphill
brush encroaching tends to push hikers to the downhill side of the tread,
which eventually loosens and slips.    The loose soil here doesn't help.

No equestrian obstacles on the portion.    No water either.   Three
through hikers passed us.    There was a brightly uniformed group of young
people starting in the other direction doing trail maintenance apparently.


To summarize the last three days, the water sources are the Mill Creek
Summit fire station, North Fork ranger station, and the KOA on 
Soledad Canyon.
