|
| Recommended Equipment: |

|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Some of the crossings of Morrison Brook on Caribou Trail were tricky. The water was high due to rain in the morning and in recent days. Used submerged rocks at times and crossed at points either upstream or downstream of the true path to take advantage of the best rocks. Water crossings on the Mud Brook Trail were not difficult. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails in generally good condition. Some drainage work would help divert water off the trail. Short sections of the upper parts of the Caribou Trail require brushing out of the hobblebush branches. There is a birch tree across the Mud Brook Trail that will need to be axed. I sawed up some smaller trees on the trail. |
