Many tree falls with either the trunks across the trail or branches intruding in to the path. Passage by these blow downs is not difficult. The Pine Bend Brook trail at the base on the North Tripyramid summit cone ascent lies in a trench from water erosion (not new). |

Many dogs on the trail today |

Some insects at the lower elevations but I received no bites. The wind kept the bugs away at higher elevations |

| Comments: |
The trails were generally in good condition. Down low the Lady's Slippers and Blue Bead Lilies were in bloom. At higher elevations the Painted Trillium, Hobblebush, and Trout Lilies were flowering. Some nice outlooks on both North and Middle Tripyramid summits although it was hazy today. Small patches on snow in the Pine Bend Brook trail on the approach to North Tripyramid. |
