 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Looks like the Bennington Trail is seeing some official maintenance again- there are fresh blue blazes and trail signs that weren't there the last time I went up this way. Also, the former abandoned portion of the Bennington Trail has been de-abandoned and has the same blue blazing as the lower part of the trail. |

 | Comments: |
Due to the recent rain, the trails were wet from bottom to top with intermittent minor mud. Predictably, most of the mountain was socked in with no views, but the forest on the upper parts of the mountain was so calm and peaceful in that fog. Saw only one other hiker, near the trailhead, so I had that cloudy forest canopy all to myself. |
