Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Easy rock hops today 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Lots of leaf-filled water bars on Brookside and Beechwood Way that I noticed. Quickly cleared a few on Brookside but we were racing the rain so didn't put in too much effort. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Inlook is steep but the scrambles are easy so most dogs should have zero issues. Water all over this route. I stepped in a big old pile of dog poop somewhere near the trailhead at the end of the day. Gross!!!

Comments
Comments: Back to redlining today with my trusted miniature sidekicks. I had very high expectations for the Inlook Trail and it still exceeded them. Spectacular views for pretty much the entire upper half. The trail was steep but not that rough. Great scrambling practice for Margaret, which she loved. Lower Brookside was very pleasant and mostly good footing, unlike the upper half which we discovered a few weeks ago is very rough. Beechwood Way was a snoozefest as expected-we ran most of it. Same with the Link. We barely beat the rain today. Only encountered two hikers, a nice couple from Rhode Island. Another warm, beautiful, quiet day in the mountains escaping the madness and technological terrors of our time.
