A large (2' diameter) hardwood is blocking Baldface Circle between the ends of Chandler Gorge Loop. It is a climb over/through.
A large softwood blow down on the ridge between South and North. It is a climb over.
A large softwood blow down on Bicknell Ridge Tr, below Eagle Cascade Link, crawl under.
The trail between South and North is quite the car wash in the rain. Needs significant brushing. |

What a gorgeous day for this hike! fantastic views across the plains into Maine, and into the Wild River Wilderness. Snow fields still holding on Washington, with a significant amount still in Tuckerman Ravine. |
