 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Really well maintained, clear trail. One pretty large blowdown, easy to get around. Not a ton of blazes going up, saw more on the way down, but trail is very clear and has been well maintained. |

We brought ours! Saw one other dog. Our dog off-leash until we got to last rise to summit. Open ledges, so leashed. |

 | Comments: |
Great hike, steady uphill, gorgeous view of Moosilauke from top. Trail had a couple of patches of snow still on the upper reaches, in shaded spots, but easily avoided. Barebooted whole way with no problem. Mud not a problem and actually surprisingly dry most of the way. Great, great hike. |
