 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All rock hopped without an issue. A couple on Cedar Brook are avoided via a short side trail (wouldn't even call it a bushwhack) that caused brief confusion on which way to go. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Yellow trail blazes were very faded and few and far between. However, trails are pretty easy to follow. Tons of exposed roots on these trails. Recent blowdowns cut and cleared on the ridge between the two peaks. No issues |

 | Comments: |
Great day out there. Lot of drying has taken place over the past several weeks and all the water crossings were rock-hopped. A few very minor spots of remaining snow and a couple muddy areas, but easily avoided.
Went up the North Loop and down from the South side. I'd recommend this route as it gets all the climbing done at once and the South link has more loose rocks/scree. |
