 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The two water crossings at the beginning of the hike were tricky. Water a little high, not much opportunity to avoid getting boots wet. The other ones were easy. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail in the alpine zone is a little confusing to follow. Some more blazes could be painted up there, also sections of the upper trail are getting eroded. All and all trail is in good shape though. |

Saw one very happy and muddy dog. |

They are starting to make an appearance but tolerable today. |

Hiked to the summit of Burnt Hill (also known as Burnt Mountain) via the Burnt Mountain trail. Nice day to be out on the trail, excellent views of Sugarloaf, the Bigelows and surrounding areas. 360 Views at the top! 1/3 of the trail is above treeline so the views are awesome. Fairly busy, saw about 10+ hikers today. Great workout as usual. |
