 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The Tunnel Brook/Benton Trailhead is not where Google Maps tells you it is. You're in for a 1.5-mile surprise if you don't have a current map on you. A section of the old road was washed out a while back, presumably by Irene. |

A couple interesting ones but all manageable with some care. |

For the most part, these trails were all in great condition. A few blowdowns here and there. I did lose the trail a bit around Mud Pond. |

 | Comments: |
One of the most fun hikes I've had in a while. Saw nobody the whole time - Tunnel Brook Trail is beautifully remote. Mud Pond is magical. This is my new favorite loop of Moosilauke. The woods are really shining with that spring green color all of a sudden. |
