you might check out " postholer.com ". Once there you'll be able to read equipment lists and pull up a google map of the trail it's self. I use it a lot to work out many of my hikes. they also have trail journals and equipment lists. you should get a good idea of current equipment, others are dragging into the woods.. also you might check out "Washington Trails Assoc."in it you'll find reports on trail conditions.( it's kind of slow during our winter months but all good solid stuff!
