 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There are several cairn lines off the summit of Major that aren't any of the mapped/blazed trails. I wound up having to go back to the summit and leaving on a compass bearing to hit the Brook trail. |

 | Comments: |
Great day to be out, despite the damp and the forecast. Boulder trail is pretty good but there are places where traction is a big plus; parts of the Brook trail are big sheets of ice. |
