 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None to think about, all little streams. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails in good shape for the most part. There are two large mud holes at the start as you enter the woods. Granted, we have had a lot of rain, but these you have to walk around and there are herd paths doing just that. These two spots absolutely need bog bridges. They wouldn't have to be long, but they are needed. |

This is a nice easy hike. The trail up to Iron is ok,but the trail down to the ledges is fantastic. The ledges themselves are quite cool and it's a very unique vantage point overlooking some nice real estate. This was Shay's #43 for his second round of the 52wav, we are utilizing some of the de-listed peaks this round, because they are cool mountains and we are not snobs about views, we love trails too. Shay plans to finish this week, 9 to go. We wanted to finish in a year (52 in 52) but looks like 10 months will do it.
