Plenty of space in the lot on Signal Ridge Rd. |
|

Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Standing/Running Water on Trail |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |

|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossings were rock hoppable but where the beavers had worked, just after the junction, there is a beaver dam with some flooding across the trail and needing a good balancing act to traverse. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Just some high duck unders. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Water down low but none above so you would need to carry plenty on such a hot day. |
|
| Bugs: |
Troublesome as we ascended making for very short stops. Zillions of black flies/gnats beyond Signal Ridge, along with thousands of mosquitoes! An occasional breeze through the viewing platform allowed us to eat a quick lunch but stopped any hanging around even up there. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
Found small container of sum tan lotion..#50.

| Comments: |
A truly gorgeous day to be on the top of Signal Ridge and Carrigain but the bugs were a real problem spoiling the time spent viewing and naming the peaks. Big group of OTHH, split into 2 groups, all had a good day out. |
