We were looking for a short easy hike today, since we are doing trail maintenance today and don't want to wear ourselves out. We chose a short MST segment that we haven't hiked before. The beginning of the section showed signs of weed whacking, but most of the trail hasn't had its spring weed whacking yet, so was very overgrown. Very few wildflowers currently. The area near Walker Knob Overlook (called Balsam Gap Overlook on Gaia) was pretty, but otherwise this section was just overgrown and less interesting.
