![Dog-Related Notes](../icons1/icondog.gif) | Dog-Related Notes: |
The sandpaper-like rocks scattered about the Northern Presi peaks can be rough on dog paws, so take that into consideration. |

The trails were mostly dry, with some minor wet and muddy areas along Air Line near treeline as well as the upper part of Valley Way. No maintenance/damage issues to speak of.
It was unusually cold for early September on the Northern Presidentials, but I welcomed it with open arms. Had my summer fun, but now I'm ready for some winter fun! |
