Mt. Carrigain, NH |

 | Trails: |
Signal Ridge Trail |
|
 | Date of Hike: |
Saturday, August 3, 2019 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Sawyer River road repairs from last year are holding strong. Compared to what I saw back then, I'm very impressed with how the Forest Service was able to patch things together again. The roadway remains very passable. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Brooks are flowing steadily, but low enough that the soles of your shoes will be the only things getting wet. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail was in good shape. No significant blow-downs. All modern puncheon is in good shape and very serviceable. The odd bit of "corduroy" logs is steadily rotting away into nothingness. Some mud in the lower elevations; do your part to combat trail erosion, as always. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Several pups out having the times of their lives. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Mosquitos were downright homicidal in the lower elevations as evening fell. Bug juice is your friend. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
One camouflage bandana. Should be able to be found at the trailhead sign. |

 | Comments: |
Last year, I hiked up in the middle of a huge, thick cloud. Wow, what I missed back then. Views are superlative, and make the rough going on the way up worthwhile.
Photos and a more detailed write-up are on my blog. |
