 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Moderate flow on Paugus Brook. Not quite rock hoppable. I committed to wet feet in trail runners because I knew they’d dry out on the climb and, upon return, I had dry shoes in the car. Other muddy areas and streams were no problem. |

Trails are in fantastic condition! |

Other than the gorge scrambles on Old Paugus, it seemed ok for an experienced hiking pup. |

 | Comments: |
Quiet day in the Sandwich Range with excellent views from Paugus.
Important to exit the gorge on Old Paugus at the rock that resembles a step. Glad I didn’t miss it!
The tricky ledge scramble on OP could be avoided by a side path to the right.
Above the ledges OP was like walking in a little stream bed. Minor snow near the summit
cone but no need for traction today. Trails weren’t too hard for o follow despite very few blazes.
Moose scat near intersection with Bee Line. |
