| Water Crossing Notes: |
Most major crossings all have bridges. Sucker Brook crossing up to Mt Carr was rock-hoppable but slippery. Note, I checked out the beaver dam trail crossing just north of the shelter - I did not cross the dam all the way but there are only 2 functional bog bridges on the south end of the dam - looks quite wet crossing the rest of the way (which I did not). |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
yikes - this area is a work-in-progress. Ongoing snowmachine/hiking trail bypasses and bridges. Many drainage issues regardless. Quite the mud pit today (2-ish days after the storms!!!). |

Excellent hike!!!! Summit really growing in!!! Cannot really see anything anymore from the firetower footings other than treetops!!!! Nice pond views along the loop!!!! Very quiet!!! Only other people I saw were several fly fisherpeople carrying floating chairs and things on a long walk to their car. |
