Probably half dozen but 3 are tricky and you will get wet. Out and back means 6 wet crossings. |

Very similar to miles notch, tough trail to follow lots of debris slowing you down and tripping you up. I came in from the east at some point no blazes at all, thankfully my dogs found the trail after I was off a few times. |

 | Comments: |
Wanted to get to 113 and back but the road walk squashed that, made it to the notch itself and plan on coming in from other side to notch when 113 opens. Water is also high right now. |
