	Peaks	Mt. Hale, NH

	Trails:	North Twin Trail, Firewarden's Trail

	Date of Hike:	Monday, June 1, 2026

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	I was the first car in the lot today. There is room for quite a few cars in the lot and overflow parking on the side of the road.

	Surface Conditions:	Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	The Little River was flowing for sure but the little crossing for today's hike was an easy rock hop.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	The North Twin trail is in fine shape. Zippy does amazing work! The Firewarden's trail in an unmaintained trail so you get what you get but some kind souls have gone through and sawed a bunch of blowdowns so it's smooth sailing.

	Dog-Related Notes:	I saw one well behaved Golden with their people today. :) The trails are in perfect shape for doggos.

	Bugs:	Not an issue today. It was nice and cool to start which really helps.

	Lost and Found:	Nothing lost and nothing found. I even checked the kiosk this time but there are no found items there.


	Comments:	This was a great day to grab a quick peak. The recent rain and snowmelt have made things wet. There is standing and running water along both trails. There is minor mud on the North Twin trail and some deep and larger mud pits on the Firewarden's trail. A few of them are pretty slippery too so watch your footing and prepare for squelchiness. I had the summit to myself which was lovely. There were 2 friendly Grey Jays waiting for handouts but this was a tag and bag kind of day, so no snackies for them. Quite a few friendly hikers out today that seemed to be really enjoying the day.
