 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Mt Clinton Rd is Closed to vehicles from both directions. I parked at Base Rd. There is room for about a dozen cars and room across Base Rd at Jefferson Notch Rd (also closed). There was a big hole (5’ diameter) in the road about 1/4 mile from the start. I met 2 hikers who walked from 302. They said there was water running over the road at one point. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
First crossing at .4 miles was a rock hop. The bridge is out—can’t remember if this is recent or not. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Many thanks to those who maintain this trail. Lots of hard work went into clearing blowdowns from about mile 1-2.
Also, the forest service has closed the part of Monroe loop that is east of Crawford Path.
So you have to summit Monroe to get to the hut from this direction. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Plenty of water for dogs. Sasha was the lone trail dog. |

 | Bugs: |
No! Too windy. |

 | Comments: |
The road walk added about a mile to the hike. It was super blustery above treeline but plenty of views and no rain so it’s hard to complain. Met about 10 people on Edmands Path and maybe 15 on Crawford Path. Everyone seemed pretty happy to have a rain free day despite the winds.
Interesting and somewhat aggravating, there was a border patrol roadblock on 93 S right before the Woodstock exit. |
