Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Very nice recent brushing on Mt. Frissell Trail near Mt. Washington Road. Only small issue was a fairly large blowdown of a formerly live tree branch on top of a dead blowdown on the Mt Frissell Trail near the side trail to the small pond. This has turned into a walkaround/stepover. This is on the MA part of the Mt. Frissell Trail about halfway between Round Mountain and Mt. Frissell.

Nice hike to bag highest summit in CT, as well as the true CT highpoint and also the tristate marker. A pleasant hike with fine weather. Nice views to the Catskills. My thanks to Lone Wolf.
