Hiking Trail Conditions Report
	Peaks	Mt. Pierce (attempt), NH

	Trails:	Crawford Path

	Date of Hike:	Wednesday, April 29, 2026

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	We parked on the shoulder of 302 at the base of the staircase.

	Recommended Equipment:	Light Traction

	Water Crossing Notes:	Bridged or stepover,

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	Need to go back again for some drainages and other stuff once the rest of the monorail melts out, but we got all of the blowdowns taken care of today.

	Dog-Related Notes:	No pups today, J is headed to Mass with mom to see his grandparents.

	Bugs:	Nada

	Lost and Found:	Found a bag of dog poo hanging from a branch about 150 feet into the woods. Not sure what the play was with that one. Maybe someone left it on the trail and someone else threw it in a fit of rage and it just happened to catch on a branch? Add it to my list of probably unanswerable questions.


	Comments:	Trail work today, big thanks to everyone for the intel on the blowdowns (JoMama, Navychik) and some of the prior help to delimb some stuff and make it more manageable (Bogboy). Mr Kenney and Forrest C were nice enough to come join me today and help out. We got all the trees cleaned up so the route should be clean, fast, and ready to rip for a bit. Once it's done melting out we'll head back to get the drainages fully cleaned. Monorail started a bit below the Mizpah Cutoff Junction, bring your spikes, you'll probably want them for the way down.
