Comments
Comments: a great day in the gulf and northern presidentials. haven't been on some of these trails in a number of years and it was nice to revisit them. trails all easy to follow minus one or two places on floor of madison gulf where bootleg trails may cause some confusion. trail is still blazed on the headwall, but i noted very few markings below that. bears (or campers depending on how you want to look at it) have become a problem in the gulf the last couple of years and i noted bear boxes both at the bluff site and osgood. don't know if all sites have them. something to think about if you're going out there to camp. great to be out.
