Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: I adopted the trail as of June 2025. I set out on 1/1/26 to perform trail maintenance, after the recent ice storm. Many portions were completely obstructed. We cleared all blow downs and saplings covering the trail. Entire trail is accessible (for now), until the next storm hits. Feel free to e-mail me with any new issues that may need to be addressed. Happy hiking!

Comments
Comments: Snow shoes were not necessary as there was a nice hard pack, but Hillsounds were especially helpful on portions with thick layers of ice, that coated the rock slabs on the summit.
