Do Not Short Cut Switchbacks<br />
Trail erosion has become a huge problem on the main trail up Mount Olympus. This trail sees<br />
heavy use, especially to Tolcat Creek 1.5 miles up the trail from <strong>Wasatch</strong> Blvd. Those who<br />
use the first portion of the trail are often just out for a short hike to walk their dog, check out<br />
the views of the valley, or look at flora and fauna. Trail erosion, trail braiding, and litter are<br />
increasingly becoming troublesome on this first section to Tolcat Creek. If you choose to use<br />
this approach DO NOT cut switchbacks. Stay on the trail. If you’re too lazy to hike the entire<br />
trail then perhaps you should have elected to stay in the lazy boy! (From Summitpost.org)<br />
