|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The crossings back and forth over Brookside were not a problem (good to have your poles). |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Probably within 0.5 mile of the first view of Durand Ridge, there are quite a few blowdowns on the Airline trail (maybe 5-10?). You can move around these, but they are large blowdowns that will slow you down. Comparatively, going down Watson Path/Brookside, there were some blowdowns, but minor and not that many. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I saw a bunch of dogs, all of which seemed pleased. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Yes, the bugs (black flies mainly) were out, mostly on the Airline below treeline section of my journey today. Other than that, and without bug spray, I was fine. |

 | Comments: |
The only snow I encountered on trail was on the Star Lake Trail, where there are a few patches of snow left, but these are all quite soft and easily traversed without additional traction. And I laid down and made a snow angel in May! |
