We're happy that you're finding it to be useful in planning your trip to Puerto Rico. It's hard to predict how muddy the trail to El Toro will be in the coming weeks. But, if I had to guess, I'd say it will be muddy. So far, this July we've had 25.7" of rain (yup ... over 2 feet!) up here where we live at the edge of El Yunque. I think there's been more in the rain forest proper. I can't comment on if I think it will be dangerous for just the 2 of you to go alone. That's something only you can decide. Read this to understand where I'm coming from ... http://www.puertoricodaytrips.com/safety/ As on any hike, I would be prepared with food, water, trail map, a GPS, cell phone (though coverage may be questionable) and I would make sure that someone (hotel or family back home) knows where you are going and what time they should expect to hear back from you ... just in case. If something happened to one of you, could the other one carry or somehow get the injured person back to your car? You need to consider all possible outcomes.

I'm getting so many ideas for my upcoming trip! What are your thoughts on doing the El Toro hike in August 2010? Do you think it will be too muddy? Also, it will just be two of us, do you think that is dangersous? I have to say I love your blog! I’m getting so many ideas for my upcoming trip!
