 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is in very good shape. Fairly new work by the SLA on steps, with 6x6 timbers, eliminates any really long stretches up to/down from boulders. There are a few muddy places, with trail creep as people without footware suitable for a rough trail have gone around the mud, much of which is fairly thin over decent base underneath. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
There were a few, leashed, well-behaved. |
|
 | Bugs: |
There were some buzzing our heads a bit, which some noticed more than others. |

 | Comments: |
It was a busy trail mid-morning in the middle of a long holiday weekend. The hikers were a mix of younger adults with small kids and older people. It's a quick, easy mile with perhaps 400 ft of elevation gain and a great view overlooking Squam Lake from the wide ledges up top. |
