 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There are a few large blowdowns on the lower portion of Edmands Path. I was able to muscle one dead one off to the side of the trail. The rest will need an ax or chainsaw. Numerous herd paths near the junction of Crawford/Edmands/Eisehower Loop/Mt Eisenhower Tr. They all seem to cut the corners but should be avoided to prevent further erosion. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Marlie and Brewer had an easy day. There were many dogs out and lots of water along this route. |
|
 | Bugs: |
There were black flies in the parking lot and very thick over the last mile when we returned. A strong wind above treeline kept them away at the summit. |

 | Comments: |
For a short rewarding hike this fit the bill perfectly. We went up Edmands Path, N-S over the Eisenhower Loop, and circled back on the east side of the summit along the Crawford Path.
