Recommended Equipment:  
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: I was so thankful for man-made bridges today. The recent rain had really increased the water levels and it was moving!  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: There is one small step over blowdown right before the 3rd bridge as you ascend. It's a little one and easy to step over. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: I saw 3 good doggos with their people and was greeted enthusiastically by a large friendly black dog. Dogs know dog people. :) This route is very dog friendly. 
Bugs
Bugs: It was cold and windy and totally socked in so there were no bugs. Naturally it cleared and warmed up when I was close to the parking lot and only then did the bugs make an appearance. 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: There is a variety of interesting items located at the kiosk. I didn't investigate too closely but did see a Stabilicer, the traction of champions. 
 
Comments
Comments: I was seriously regretting all my life choices as I drove from Maine in the pouring rain, but trusted the experts at NOAA when their forecast said it was going to stop at 8am. They were right. It was windier than predicted but that was just fine. The recent rain turned the entire trail into a stream. There was running water and standing water all the way up to the summit. The mud was pretty impressive as well. I attempted to keep my feet dry-ish on the way up but pretty much gave up about .5 from the summit and just plowed through it all. My boots have so many holes already that it was pointless anyway. The summit was socked in and visibility was very limited but it was still a great day on a beautiful mountain, so no regrets. I saw 16 friendly hikers all having a great day!
