 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked one car at Wachusett Ski area. Plenty of room. Other car we spotted at Jewell Hill Road. Only room for a couple of cars on Jewell hill. Someone else parked a car on Rt 12 across the trail (abandoned Whitney Hill Road) and there looked to be room for another car. So 4 cars more or less could be comfortably parked at that location probably. |

 | Recommended Equipment: |

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
No water crossing problems. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few blowdowns but no problems. Trail north of Muddy Pond shelter seriously needs to be brushed. It is very grown in with about head high growth, including thorny raspberry bushes. Under "Recommended Equipment" I would have checked off "machete" but there wasn't that option. Other parts of the trail look freshly brushed. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Nothing to report here. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Some mosquitoes but they weren't an issue as long as you kept moving. Mostly just an annoyance when they buzzed your ears. |
