|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
These trails need some work. Beyond Marlow Profile, Sands loses its blazes and becomes difficult to follow above the cliff. McIntyre was hard to follow on the descent, with only a few white blazes and some flagging. This is a cool area, but it's a bummer the trails are in such poor shape. Some brushing to open up the corridors and fresh blazes would help a lot. A few blowdowns, but nothing big. |

|
 | Bugs: |
The wind helped a bit. |

Nothing. |

 | Comments: |
This was a clockwise loop over the peak, up Sands and down McIntyre. Good going up to the Profile, then steep and rough around and above it (where there is a good view west toward Vermont) to the wooded summit, where there is some stone furniture and a fire pit. The descent took a little time due to route finding. Mostly dry trails, but some areas of mud along McIntyre. |
