 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Easy rock hops, despite significant rain over previous days. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are generally in good shape. On Cedar Brook and the way up the loop trail to the split, there are a few blowdown logs, no branches, which are for the most part easily straddle-overs, and one white birch easy enough duck under. The trail between peaks could do with some brushing at the sides. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
There were two, both leashed and well-behaved, enjoying the outing. |
|
 | Bugs: |
None in the walk in, as it was cooler then. By the time we got to the south peak, things were warmer, and some bugs were noticeable, mainly of the nuisance type. These were annoying on the trip down to the trail split and on the long walk out. |

 | Comments: |
I had thought that there would be a fair amount of water at the crossings, so I brought my water shoes along. I didn't need them, as the crossings were fairly easy. |
