Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Someone obviously has done a lot of recent trail clearing -- thank you! But there are still a few blowdowns that could be removed if some hiker brought along a hand saw (hint, hint). Also a few large blowdowns that will require a big saw.

Comments
Comments: There was one teensy-weensy patch of snow in a mini-col near the summit. Almost-for-sure completely gone by the time you read this report.

Smoke from the Quebec forest fires was concentrated at low altitude, so the peak air was fairly clean and the views fairly good, especially toward the south and west.
