 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The Whitin Brook crossing below Big Rock Cave was a rock hop, but care was needed to avoid dunking feet. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails generally in good shape. Note that on the steep climb a bit after the crossing, when you get 1/2 to 2/3 the way up and it seems that continuing straight ahead will lead to some exceedingly difficult big rock climbs, the trail leaves off suddenly to the right, with no marking there right away. This is a bypass leading around those big rocks. Here and there, notably along the Cabin Trail dropping down slowly, the leaves occasionally were deceptively deep, and slippery with mud or hidden obstacles underneath, requiring careful foot placement. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
None. |
|
 | Bugs: |
None, of course. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Found: a small tripod up on the view ledge. If yours, describe and we'll get it to you. Contact deerhaven2@roadrunner.com. |
