Nice bridges, no other crossings worth mentioning. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Several trees leaning over the trail, all walk-unders or easy duck-unders.
Red blazes are not frequent, but usually there when I needed one, like when old woods roads intersect the trail. However, there is one spot, up past the halfway point, where there is a fork, with a white blaze(??) and no indication of which way to go. The left fork seems to be the correct one. |

 | Comments: |
This is a nice easy-to-moderate hike, rewarded with a great view from the summit. There are no real views from the trail itself, but it is a pleasant walk in the woods. Easy hiking, with no scrambling or real steep sections. Trail was mostly dry. There were a few wet rocks that were surprisingly slippery, but mostly avoidable. |
