 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Room for three vehicles at the trailhead of Centennial Trail on Hogan Road. Hogan Road has some large puddles right at the beginning - recommend a high-clearance vehicle for it (or just park at the junction with North Road and walk the 0.2 miles to the trailhead). We were able to get through the puddles with our high-clearance vehicles. |

Dry Trail |

|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Pretty much none. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Scattered blowdowns, but none were an impediment to travel (or the ones that were had herd paths around them). Not much mud - the trails were fairly dry. Signs were in place, though there's no sign or significant marking at the summit of Mt. Hayes. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Didn't see a single dog. There's also very little water on the trail. |
|
 | Bugs: |
None. |

None. |

 | Comments: |
Day hike with Pemi Valley Hikers. Centennial Trail is generally a moderate ascent with a few steeper pitches and some flatter sections. We could tell when we entered the section that was burned by the fire earlier this year, though the trail itself doesn't seem to have suffered much damage. Mahoosuc Trail going over Mt. Hayes is pretty easy by Mahoosuc standards - not much sign of what's to come. We had lunch at the open ledges below Mt. Hayes notable for its look down to Gorham with an impressive backdrop of the northern Presidential Range peaks Mts. Madison and Adams rising beyond! |
