Date of Hike
Date of Hike: Sunday, July 14, 2024
Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: The muddiest section of the 'trail' was the parking lot. Enough for 3 cars, one spot quite muddy. It was just us on trail this day and as we arrived, a WMNF truck parked and was still there when we returned but didn't see them on trail 
Surface Conditions
Surface Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail 
Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment:  
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Rockhoppable 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Couple of little blowdowns on the lower part of the trail, blazes are very faded but not really an issue for trail finding with the worn path. I can see where it might be in parts in the fall 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: No dogs on trail today and I would think it would be quite a challenge getting one up the cliff section. 
Bugs
Bugs: We were bothered by black flies and mosquitos on the first couple miles of the trail (going and returning) 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: We kept an eye out for a gold carabiner from a necklace reported lost on a FB page but didn't catch our eye. 
 
Comments
Comments: Wonderful approach to Sandwich Dome. So many ledgey outcroppings and overlooks with views in most directions and then a long level ridge walk until you drop into a col and back up again. Fun little scramble that earned it a spot on the Terrifying 25 electives list (the reason I chose the trail)
