	Trails:	Centennial and Mahoosuc Trail

	Date of Hike:	Sunday, April 26, 2026

	Surface Conditions:	Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Leaves - Significant/Slippery

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	A few water drainages easily stepped over.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	Several blowdowns mostly easily stepped over or ducked under but two quite large blowdowns would be nice to remove as herd paths forming.

	Dog-Related Notes:	My friend's pup was happy all day on trail.

	Bugs:	A few scouts out and about.

	Lost and Found:	Nada


	Comments:	Trail is in good condition other than blowdowns. A little mud here and there but easily avoided. No snow and ice except 2 tiny patches just off the trail that has probably melted by now. Trail is mostly dry and I wore non waterproof trail runners. There's a few small sections of dry slippery leaves but really not an issue other than slowing down a little on the descent. Lovely views on the ledges about a half mile down from the summit heading down the Mahoosuc Trail towards Gorham.
