	Date of Hike:	Monday, June 8, 2026

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	There were 3 cars in the lot when we arrived and when we finished the lot was mostly full and there were cars parked on the road. $5 to park or the WMNF pass.

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

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	Not an issue to cross those little streams.

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	Nothing notable

	Dog-Related Notes:	We saw several most excellent doggos with their people having a great time. The only tricky section for dogs would be the chimney but they could utilize the bypass to the bypass. Not much water along this trail so bring plenty for your puppers.

	Bugs:	We were pleasantly surprised that they were not bad. We both used bug spray right in the parking lot because bugs love us but weren't really bothered today. The bug nets went for a ride.

	Lost and Found:	Nothing lost and nothing found


	Comments:	What a great day for these two! The trail is mostly dry with some areas of mud and standing water in the usual spots. There is something dead in the woods around mile 1.5 and it reeks. Neither of us wanted to explore to find it so we just held our breath and kept walking. If you have a dog that likes to roll in such things, you may want to keep a close eye on them or your ride home is going to be interesting. The chimney was nice and dry and made for a fun scramble. Somehow we lucked out with both summits to ourselves until the return trip. There were just a handful of folks on Mt Osceola at that time and we took a nice long snack break. Great to see Christy R up there today!
