|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
The only major crossing on the way to Mt. Whiteface is the crossing of the Whiteface River on Flat Mountain Pond Trail right before the wilderness boundary. Water level here is shin height at deepest, and a relatively simple rock hop crossing made easy with trekking poles. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
On McCrillis Trail: Many large blowdowns have been removed, and standing/running water has been redirected to reduce muddiness. The trail is slightly hard to follow along the first mile after the wilderness boundary, but faded yellow blazes mark the way. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Great hike for dogs, just know there's no running water on the upper half of McCrillis. |
|
| Bugs: |
Some mosquitoes all day, and a particularly buggy parking lot. |
