 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Between the observation platform and the junction with Lower Link, Shannon's Trail is becoming very overgrown and hikers will have to push through vegetation in a few spots. There are also few blazes on this trail now; I recall there being more. Both Upper Link and Lower Link have a few blowdowns. |

A clockwise loop over the mountain today to check some things for the SNHTG.
These trails were mainly damp in the morning and that overgrown stretch of Shannon's Trail was a car wash heading in. The sun gradually appeared and things began to dry out. No significant mud anywhere.
On the way down I hopped onto Gregg Trail. There are some washouts on this trail that will prohibit wheelchair travel. These are known about and are being worked on.
A quiet day on the mountain; I appeared to be the only hiker out this morning. Cooler temps today but the humidity was still high. |
