 | Water Crossing Notes: |
First crossing on Percy Peaks Trail bridged, some boards missing from bridge. All others are step overs, half of them dry, others low flowing. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Bridge on Percy Peaks Trail has some boards missing, still fine to walk over though. A small cluster of blowdowns about 0.5 mi from Nash Stream Road on Percy Loop Trail, should be small work with a good saw, which I need to start carrying. Otherwise trails in good shape. Well blazed throughout, blazes and small cairns up rock slabs on Percy. South unglazed but easy to follow. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw one pup from a distance halfway up North Percy dome, rocky dome may be a problem for some paws, but grade is ok on marked trail. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Minimal, a couple skeeter and no see-ums along the way, I didn't use spray and was fine, my friend used spray and they still buzzed her. |

 | Comments: |
A nice loop to these two peaks. Trail to South was ledgy and mossy, trail to North was dirt/rock then rock slab which was very grippy, thankfully.
Lovely views from both, I was unable to locate canister on South peak. Pin on North, with a sign.
Blueberries abound on both peaks. Some bunchberries, blue bead lily and Indian pipe scattered along trails.
Saw about a dozen people out, mostly on North. Looked like a few people hanging out by Percy Loop tentsite, we didn't walk over there though.
Fun little loop, glad to finally have visited the peaks. |
