 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at TH at end of Trumpet Round road in Sugar Hill. Room for several cars parked head-up, probably fifteen cars if park sideways. I've seen both methods employed here. But today, place was deserted :) |

Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
One small brook, easy to cross |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There are several logs/posts laid across trail, near the top. I didn't remove them because they looked so much like deliberate barricades.., but I now wonder if water rushing down the trail didn't float them into those positions. Found no signs indicating closure. |

 | Bugs: |
Wore the bug hat at times, didn't really need it that bad. Found one tick on my pack at the summit, and another on my sock at home. |

 | Comments: |
This trail is snow-free and in the category of drier than expected. There was 'some' mud, but it is drying fast. I did it in sneakers, without acrobatics.
I replaced the summit jar because it collects water and the paperwork was soaked thru the plastic bag. I took the paperwork home to try to dry it out; will return it within a couple weeks. |
