Rock hoping with some slippery slopes but not bad for mud season. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Gould trail isn't very well marked, easily could have gotten lost. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw a few dogs on the summit, thunderbolt trail is probably not safe given that it is peak mud season up here in Vermont and Western Mass. Gould trail is a good alternative for your canine. |
|
| Bugs: |
Very surprisingly there were no black flies out! It was a very chilly day though, well below freezing so it makes sense. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
None. |

| Comments: |
Great view from the summit! We were annoyed to see the tower under construction but other than that awesome summit. Thunderbolt trail was extremely steep and had to take a different route down. No black flies prob for maybe a few days to a week from now because of the frost the next few nights. |
