| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We always seem to get detoured when we are in VT. Bethel Mountain road is CLOSED! So if your GPS says to take a left here (we found out the hard way) take a RIGHT instead and it will still take you to the trailhead. BUT Steam Mill Road is also closed at Bridge but you can still park right before it. Phew!! |
|
| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Significant |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
There were several but only one that caused more than a pause. Tried rock hopping but my feet still got a little wet. Nothing major though. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Few blow downs that we had to crawl over and under but overall not bad. We ran into trail maintenance folks on their way out when we were heading up making trenches for water. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw one very cute and friendly one when our hike was almost complete. |
|
| Bugs: |
I thought we were going to get nailed with the black flies as soon as we go out of the car they were pretty bad and going up they were a bit bad too. But we use Deep Woods Off and there was a bit of a breeze and never had much of an issue as the day went on. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
MY sunglasses at the beginning of the hike but someone found them on trail and put them on a rock at the beginning of trailhead so I was able to recover them. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! |
