Our dog did fine. He was a little scared going down the short scramble from Owl's Head to Mt. Martha because it was steep, wet, and slippery, but he figured it out. He was the only dog on the trail today. |

Terrible! It was very buggy today. There was a lot of rain recently. |

 | Comments: |
The bugs were unpleasant and the mud was annoying but it was otherwise a great hike! Beautiful views from the top and we basically had the mountain to ourselves today. Don't be fooled by the short mileage, there is quite a bit of elevation gain (2450 ft) for 3.2 miles. |
