Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: easy to cross creeks, got shoes wet several times. So much water flowing down Mud Creek Trail it was just part of the experience. Big rains overnight and that morning. Sure it is much drier now. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: a few blowdowns, easy to navigate around. Be sure to take a Left at the 1st V out of the parking lot (Right takes you over a bridge), up the fire road a subtle Right (small sign on tree w yellow arrow) guides you onto the singletrack. This is maybe a mile or less into the hike.

Comments
Comments: Bog Brook Trail from Hwy 2 up to Caribou Peak, down Mud Creek to Hwy 113, then back up the Caribou Trail and out

Wet and fun 11.5 mile loop. Lots is runable. Great views of the Mahoosics and Presidentials from atop Caribou MTN.
