 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two de-limbed head-banger blowdowns (6-8" dia) about 100 feet above The Link intersection, and a new birch leaner (8-10" dia) about 0.4 from the trailhead. No difficulty navigating under any of them currently, but a bit of snow would make the headbangers into a toll gate! |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Hale enjoyed himself on this hike, but did need a boost in a couple of spots. I believe most people would consider this trail to be not-dog-friendly due to the scrambles and the rough granite near the top... YMMV based on agility and conditioning! |

 | Bugs: |
Had a bunch of black flies buzzing around us at the summit... wtf! |

 | Comments: |
Beautiful day- blue skies, sunshine, and near-peak foliage! Started shortly after noon, guessing about 60 degrees and an intermittent breeze- temps at summit were a little cooler but still plenty comfortable to hang out in just a T-shirt for nearly an hour! |
