 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parking at Wildcat ski area is open. Only one or two other cars in a lot to fit hundreds so I think you’ll be good ;) |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The crossing of Thompson Brook (or closer to the falls) at 0.6mi could be a bit unnerving for some people. It wasn’t real high yesterday but the angle of the rocks make it awkward. Nothing else of significance. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is blazed in yellow. The jcts with Way of the Wildcat are signed well. The only tough the trail could be a bit hard to follow is around the falls and where it crosses the brook/falls at 0.6mi. A bit hard to see where the trail re-enters the woods. Also note that beyond here the trail is less travelled and narrower but not hard to follow. There was very little or no blaze on that side of the falls. There is a small “end of trail†sign at the end. There was a small blowdown with a path around it. I think it was in between the crossing of the maintenance road and Way of the Wildcat. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
The trail to shortly before the falls would be fine for any dog but it gets steep and rocky there and some dogs will struggle. I’d also be careful with them at the crossing of the falls. None seen. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Surprisingly there didn’t to be any out. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
None |
