Comments
Comments: There were no maintenance issues with any of the trails on the day of my hike. The unnamed unofficial trail to North Peak was a bit 'fuzzy' in a few spots, but after all, it is unofficial!

Don't know for how long this will be an issue, or it might even be resolved by now. Regardless, on the day of my hike, Byron Road was closed due to a washout from recent heavy rain in the area. Discovered that the workaround is to take West Side Road to Westbrook Brook which intersects Byron Road beyond the section that was closed.

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