Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Only one major step over down low. Trail was in good shape. It was flat with lots of snowshoes on it today but as the day warms they may be more holes by the end of the day. Our snowshoes started sinking towards the end of our hike about 11:30am. Yellow blazes were in good shape.

Comments
Comments: Trail was packed today and temps were warm on this quick hike. Zealand Road had some snowmobile traffic. Snow shoes are needed as the snow softens. Passed an AMC group on the way down that were headed to the hut after the summit so the Lend-a-Hand trail will be packed out too.
