Comments
Comments: Trails were generally dry and in good shape. A few minor muddy areas on the Piper and Red trails, but nothing noteworthy.
The Belknap fire tower views are no longer underwhelming, as the communications equipment enveloping it has been transferred to a new tower to the south, thus providing excellent views from the top landing. The White Trail has been slightly rerouted east to avoid the new tower.
