Comments
Comments: Gunstock Mountain Trail was muddy right at the start as usual but mostly dry thereafter. Winter Shortcut had some minor mud. Some areas of trail creep on both these trails becoming significant. Ridge Trail was dry to the summit. Brook and Saddle down to the Col were damp with more mud than the other trails, still mostly avoidable. Blue Trail has dried out considerably compared to a few days ago. Graham Junction was much drier as well. Hazy views from the summit but made for some nice colors near sunset.
