Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Carrigain Brook crossing was an easy rock hop (some barely under water). There are multiple routes across the river. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Trail in good condition. All tree falls or leaners present no problems for passage. The large bog bridges near the junction of Signal Ridge Trail and Carrigain Notch Trail have minor deterioration near the end of some logs that are not an issue at this time. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Good for dogs. Many out today. Bring water on hot days. Not much water once the trail starts ascending from the lowlands. 
Bugs
Bugs: Mosquitoes are out and some were biting. Most prevalent down low in the wet areas.

Comments
Comments: Trail is mostly dry. A few areas had wetness on the rocks. Some loose stones that could potentially cause slippage.
Saw Labrador Tea flowers on Signal Ridge. Otherwise, no wildflowers.
Great views from Signal Ridge and even better from the summit observation tower (360 degree view).
Gray Jay at summit.
Lots of hikers including the Pioneer Valley Hiking Club.
