 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Blueberry ledge is not a trail for dogs! I had two with me, a lab (Bear) and a golden (Zuzu). Both made it, with help from me, but the trail is very hazardous near the top, especially after last nights snow. Not much water on these trails either, bring plenty. |

 | Comments: |
A great day on the trails with the dogs. I was a little surprised by the recent snow. I made this climb without traction, but would not recommending doing the same. Rollins and Dicey Mills were fine, but Blueberry ledge is tough near the top when snow is present or wet. Stay away from this trail for a decent. |
