| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at Pinkham visitors center. Half full at 8:30 few spaces at 3. Regular start of ridge trail is closed due to work on Glen Ellis falls trail. Workers are on duty at falls parking lot. Give lost pond trail a try it’s definitely worth it and also part of the AT. |

| Water Crossing Notes: |
Fine bridge to start Lost pond trail. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few rotten logs over the mud on Lost pond trail. Near the end of the pond there is a false trail starting to the left where the true trail goes right but is rather grassy and not immediately obvious. Placed branches across false trail hope it works. Wildcat ridge trail is steep and rocky with many ledges. Trail is in fine shape but sadly found 2 piles of poop and 3 pieces of toilet paper on trail. |
