Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: All were low today, no issues - the one near the Sandwich Mountain trailhead and the one near the junction of Drakes Brook trail and the Fletcher Cascades trail could both be tricky in high water though 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Overall trails are in good shape - a few step-overs and duck-unders between the peaks but easy to get by 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Hannah had a great day - comfortable temps and no issues with the scrambles up to the ridge. Not much water on the Sandwich Mountain trail, even with the cooler temps I'm glad I carried some extra for her.

Comments
Comments: Great loop hike in some new territory - views ascending Sandwich Mountain trail were impressive and only got better higher up. Drakes Brook trail was a joy to descend, wonderful footing and not many rocks. Gorgeous foliage down low with lots of bright yellows and reds especially along the brook. Fantastic day for a non-4k hike with my hiking beast!
