 | Date of Hike: |
Sunday, May 25, 2014 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The gate was still closed from rt 3 to Haystack road. After speaking with Forrest Services, it will probably be opened up once we have some drier weather and the road hardens a bit. |

 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Leaves - Significant/Slippery |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
nothing to be concerned with. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
This isn't technically a trail, so don't expect any maintenance. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Definitely not a hike recommended for dogs. We had some difficult challenges along the way, with the bushwhack, and also with the steeps coming down. Luckily, the hardest one has a rope tied in. |
|
 | Bugs: |
They are starting to come out - no black flies yet, but some pesky biters. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Tragically, my friend, Pucknuts, lost his GPS. We think it was around the large stone cave about 1/3 to 1/2 way to the false peak after turning onto the bushwhack. If found, please let me know. It is black, and a touchscreen. |

 | Comments: |
Wow - what a challenging trek. We weren't expecting to tack on the road walk due to the closed gate, so it added some miles to our trip. Coming down, there is a section of pretty steep and slick rock. Some requires some downclimbing, other sections with tied in ropes, and a third has a makeshift wooden ladder (with loose second rung - watch out!) No snow or ice anywhere on the mountain, and we had some nice views from the summit. |
