Hiking Trail Conditions Report
	Peaks	Mt. Field, Mt. Willey, Mt. Tom, NH

	Trails:	Avalon Trail, Willey Range Trail, A-Z Trail, Mt. Tom Spur

	Date of Hike:	Tuesday, June 6, 2023

	Parking/Access Road Notes:	Parked at the area next to the depot, plenty of more spaces roadside around 1030am

	Surface Conditions:	Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable

	Recommended Equipment:

	Water Crossing Notes:	A few crossings, all easily rock hoppable

	Trail Maintenance Notes:	A few step over blowdowns, one duck under/step over. I managed to clear 4 blowdowns from the trails but there are still a few left that will require cutting. All trails were wet as expected but the Willey Range trail fro Field towards Tom was a stretch of light water running down the trail.

	Dog-Related Notes:	Saw two impressive terriers absolutely zipping down the rocks and trails! All the while being adorable and well behaved

	Bugs:	Bit of a cool damp windy day, no bugs to speak of

	Lost and Found:


	Comments:	Trail is in okay condition, a few larger blowdowns left that are mostly not too awkward to step over. Some roots in the trail are a little high up from the erosion too. Trail was wet from the recent rain but as noted above the worst stretch was between Field and Tom. Some loose rocks after the summit of Field toward Willey that sent me for a little slide. More than a few muddy spots, mostly avoidable with wide steps or rocks. Couple of pretty soft muddy areas as well; it was generally a wet muddy hike. Also did the spur up to Avalon which is short steep and well worth the view!
