One small stream and a couple of muddy spots, all rock hop-able. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some distance north of the ledges on the south flank of Cascade, the Mahoosuc Trail northbound takes a sharp right turn with an unofficial trail of some sort continuing straight. The sign was missing and I found it on the ground 25 yards away. Without tools to reattach it properly, I propped it up at the base of the tree it belonged on. Two tricky blowdowns to traverse between there and the summit of Cascade. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I saw one happy looking fellow. There isn't much water for them except a stagnant stream in the col between Hayes and Cascade. |

None. |
