There was one. I think this is not a dog-friendly trail, though. |

 | Bugs: |
There were one or two, but I did the hike without repellent. Up above tree line the stiff breeze launched any of them into Maine. |

 | Comments: |
What can I say? The Caps is the Caps - all rocky ledges from a short ways above the lookout, then that boulder heap called a summit cone. Very difficult to make good time in either direction on that stuff. |
