Trails were all blazed and signed well. Some nice newer signage on and around Precipice Path. A few step over blow downs to contend with. |

Plenty of water on this route for dogs. Some dogs may have a hard time on the waterfall and cliff section of Precipice Path because of some scrambling and loose rocks/holes. |

 | Comments: |
A great clockwise loop of the Precipice Path. The trails were mostly dry with some minor black ice near the waterfall. The waterfall section could be dangerous in high water or icy conditions. Some minor mud here and there. Coming down the East Branch of Precipice Path proved challenging with all the oak leaves on the ground. Very slippery! Almost complete with my Belknap Red Line. |
