 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Pretty good shape, considering. I cleared branches from the trail throughout the hike. One major blowdown on the Piper-Round Pond link trail. The sign at the East Gilford/White Tr junction on Belknap had fallen over and I tried to get it reseated in the rocks, but not sure how long it'll hold. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Mine had a great time. Lots of water, obv. We were going to do Boulder Trail up to Belknap but we opted for the longer, less steep ascent instead. |

There are a few things hanging on the TH parking signs - an electronic dog collar, sunglasses, and a belt of some sort. |

 | Comments: |
My dog needed some trails for his Belknap Trace and I wanted to scout the storm damage, so off we went. The trails were in great condition considering the storm. I did not need to deploy spikes, though I came close as I was descending the East Gilford Tr. Late October conditions. |
