 | Water Crossing Notes: |
****Bridge out over Cold River***
The Deer Hill Connector crosses a dam. The middle section of the dam used to have a metal plank across it. I am assuming this got wiped out by Irene. The only way across is to wade the stream which is fairly wide and 2-3 feet deep. If you want to hike Deer Hills without having to cross the stream, you still can if you use the Leach Link. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are in excellent shape. A few small blowdowns. |

 | Comments: |
Great views from a couple little peaks. No snow but quite a bit of ice in places. Carried our microspikes but were able to get around the trouble areas without them. Great time red-lining with Cath. |
