Comments: There were no maintenance issues on this trail on the day of my hike.

It's a minor issue, but the current edition of AMC's Maine Mountain Guide spells the name of the street used to access the trailhead as "Curry", and it states that you drive 0.7 miles on this street to the trailhead parking lot. The name of the street is "Currie", per the sign posted at the street entrance. And, the distance to the trailhead as 0.3 mile, as correctly posted on the M.A.T.C. signage posted beneath the street sign.

Some photos from this hike are at my BLOG (see link below).
