| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The easiest way to access the trailhead parking is via Denmark road off 302. The trailhead is about .5 to 1.5 miles from the West Denmark/Denmark Rd intersection. Do not turn onto West Denmark.

|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
None. There is not any water on this trail at all so bring what you will need for your hike. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail still in excellent condition. New yellow metal diamonds have replaced a lot of the yellow blazes, also the trail seems easier to follow than in previous years. I think there has been quite a bit of trail maintenance within the last year or so. Great condition, no problems at all. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Should be fine for dogs though there is not any water on this trail. Bring some for your dog. |
|
| Bugs: |
They are out but not biting. Some hikers I met on the trail told me to watch out for ticks, they rested near a grassy area at the summit and had up to 10 on their legs after a few minutes. That time of year. |

Overcast turned out to be blue skies and warm. I love hiking this trail, excellent views of the lakes region and the white mountains. Very tranquil and enjoyable hike. A very pleasant hike on pleasant mountain! :) |
