Well maintained parking area with bathroom |

 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Leaves - Significant/Slippery |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
There are five water crossings none will cause you any problems. Three are small walk overs and two are small rock hops. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is easy to follow with the exception of a couple of areas of Slippery Brook where the leaves obscured the trail making it a little tricky in spots. Keep your eye on the yellow blazes, they will keep you on track. There are also some unexpected sections with deep leaves just waiting for a turned ankle and a knee buckle. There are 3 blowdowns, one at around 1900ft, 2100 ft and 2500 feet. Walkovers. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
My 10 lb chihuahua had to be picked up for one large rocky step near the summit. Other than that he had no problems with this trail. |
|
 | Bugs: |
a few swarms of non-biting black flying bugs. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Thanks to the hiker who placed my glove in plain sight for me to find on the way down. |
