| Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossings on the lower North trail easily rock hopped, although having poles helped. No water crossings on the South trail. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trails are in fine shape. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
We saw many happy dogs and one happy hiking goat named Monroe. |
|
| Bugs: |
Surprisingly not bad.... a good northwest breeze helped but with one dose of 40% DEET I was fine for the hike as long as I kept moving. A brief run shower at the summit helped quell the black flies too. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
lost nothing, found nothing, other than the bliss of a great hike in Vermont. |

South Trail (ascent) North Trail (descent)
A perfect day for a hike of the Pisgah Ridge. Bugs were minimal, trail has a few muddy spots but nothing terrible. Just a great hike and the views of Willoughby are fantastic. |
