There's a tiny running stream on Semuhenna that would be a step over if not for all the mud around it. Passable but annoying. |

A large downed tree blocking Donbrowo trail, but going around was not problematic. |

 | Comments: |
Semuhenna trail, particularly between Administration Road and West Side Trail, is EXTREMELY muddy. Bolton Pond trail is also very muddy, with a lot of spots with either water pooling, or water running on the trail. West Side trail, Old Indian trail, and Donbrowo trail had spots here and there, but not an issue. Bicentennial trail and Pine Hill trail were dry with nothing to note.
Rain is forecasted later today and into the weekend, so mud levels are likely to increase all around.
Overall, today was a splendid day on the mountain, aside from all the mud on the northern side of the mountain.
