LT to Jay Peak in excellent shape. "Bushwhack" (not really) over to Big Jay had lots of step overs and a herdpath around a small blow down field. Trail to Big Jay is muddy in many spots. Some had herd paths around. |

Not really much water but with the ski area open on top water would be available after less than 2 miles of hiking. Some water on "trail"to Big Jay. Saw quite a few on trip back down. |

| Comments: |
Crowded at the top (ski area) but stunning views. Left the crowds for the sort of bushwhack to Big Jay. Met two others on Big Jay but lots on LT on descent. |
