The trails and herd paths were in pretty good condition, but just note that the trail to the top of Owl’s Head is not an official trail, so expect some more gnarly conditions. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Dogs will probably have a good time early in the hike, but the slide going up Owl’s Head is harder, and your dog might have a difficult time. Please pick up after your dog, as well. |

 | Comments: |
We took the slide up and the Brutus Bushwhack down to avoid the slide. Here’s a helpful rhyme to help you remember where the Brutus Bushwhack is: “When you see a hanging stocking, to the left you should be walking.” You’ll see a gray sock hanging on a tree branch. Also, don’t be scared of how long this hike is. If you break up the mileage, it really helps.????
