The Burrows trail was in good shape despite Saturday evening rain. The Long Trail below the summit cone had lots off running water and was in need of some water bar cleaning. We did see a trail maintainer on our way down who was on his way to take care of some off those issues. |

 | Comments: |
Camel's Hump Rd is now open from Huntington Center. Recent drainage work was evident so that may have been the reason for the temporary closing in August. The Burrow's trail is a pleasant, fast and easy way to summit Camel's Hump. 360 degree views with stiff, cold winds at the top. A little scary coming down the summit cone on the Long Trail. Steep, wet decent. #67 for me today! |
