 | Dog-Related Notes: |
No issues on the LT, but the Hell Brook Trail is quite steep, rough, and wet, so keep an eye on your dogs. Also, both trails were rather wet, so if you need trail water, it can be found. |

 | Bugs: |
Not bad down low, but absolutely awful at Lake of the Clouds and the summit. They were so bad on the top that I booked it after 10 or so minutes. |

 | Comments: |
Buggy but great afternoon on VT's highest peak. Hell Brook Trail, which I originally thought about descending, was very wet, so I opted to go down the LT and walk route 108 back to my car. Lots of people out enjoying VT's finest. |
