 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw two dogs coming from peak A traveling towards D. I would imagine it would be extremely difficult for dogs to make it up peak D from AMC Pinkham/ Glen Ellis Falls. If you have a Dog and want to summit this way, go up & the ski trail to hit D. |

 | Comments: |
Beautiful and hard trail on a dry day. You feel very accomplished after completing this 4000 footer due to the elevation gain and ups & downs along the way. STRAIGHT UP when the trail first starts! I hit #33 and #34 peak-bagging these two and would say this is the top 5 hardest hike so far. Any ice or heavy rain would make approaching Peak D, followed by peak A, a tough enough climb where I would turn back. |
