 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at the pull off on Carriage Road before getting to the trailhead at Breezy Point. Didn’t want to chance the drive in a CRV. There was one pickup parked at Breezy Point when I started nd a second when I finished the loop. Only one other car parked at the pull off when I left. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All bridged or very easy to cross. Dartmouth Outing Club was out replacing a bridge on Hurricane Trail today and it looks like they will finish today. Several small log bridges on Hurricane Trail need replaced but there were no issues with crossings. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Three large blowdowns on Carriage Road before it meets Snapper. All pretty easy to walk over but one appears to be new with significant branches to avoid. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw many well behaved dogs. All on leash above treeline |
|
 | Bugs: |
Holy mosquitos at the trailhead. Fortunately I was moving too quick for them. Heard and saw black flies but they didn’t bother me |

 | Comments: |
Great day to be out. I did a loop starting on Carriage Road and went to South Peak first. Didn’t see anyone until I passed Snapper. Moosilauke peak had a fair amount of people on it as did my descent down Gorge Brook. Hurricane Trail was empty other than the trail crew.
Carriage Road was wet and muddy with some spots that could not be avoided up until the Misery Camp bridge. Gorge Brook was almost entirely dry with no issues. |
