Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Water can be slim to none along the Caps Ridge route, so don’t rely on finding standing water for your pups to drink. Also use good judgment when taking a dog up the scrambles, particularly on the second “Cap”.

Comments
Comments: Aside from some mud near the trailhead, the trail was bone dry and in great shape from bottom to top. Overcast all day with some dark clouds here and there, but no rain ever fell, and the summit of Jefferson and the summits of the rest of the Northern Presidentials were in the clear with a nice breeze.
