Comments
Comments: Mt Will Trail, north ledges view spur, tire road, bushwhack

2nd MMG redline of the day after Rumford Whitecap. I did the loop counter-clockwise as described in the guidebook. The trail was mostly dry and I found exactly one spot with a teeny tiny bit of snow just off trail. There’s a little bit of black ice but easily avoidable. The spur to the north ledges is signed. I do not remember seeing a large cairn on north peak as described in the guidebook. I followed the signs and tote road to the memorial. It’s almost a 1/4mi from the trail right by the summit area. I whacked around here just a little bit too. I returned to the trail along the tote road, then descended. There are informational signs along the way. Gaia had me at 3.6mi, 1000ft of gain.
