Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: From Bear Notch Rd to Table Mountain the trail was in pretty good shape, some loose gravel above the ledges but still good. From Table Mountain to the first col to Big Attitash it was clear of any large blow downs but from the col up and over Big Attitash it really needs some work. Fir growth is encroaching much of this section to the top of this viewless peak. From the summit to the junction with Moat Mountain Trail it needs MAJOR work on the numerous blowdowns and deteriorating water bars. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Good trail for dogs. 
Bugs
Bugs: Oh yeah, after the rain stopped the mosquitoes got their straws out and were feasting on the bug dope.

Comments
Comments: This would be a fine hike to Table Mountain and a good hike in dry weather for most of the rest of the trail. We did not find that the trail was difficult to follow with one exception, approaching the first significant flow of Lucy Brook the trail appears to cross but in fact turns sharp right and follows the brook. We were not the only ones to make this mistake as there were significant attempts to climb the bank on the opposite side.
