Water Crossing Notes: No real significant water crossing at all and the few that have any size to them have bridges/logs to get you across. The real issue is the mud.

Bugs: At the parking lot and at the summit they were horrible! We had bug spray on and I still got three bites on my legs. Mosquitoes,black flies and horse flies were all out. Had lunch up at the fire tower where the bugs did leave us alone.

Comments
Comments: Long Trail/AT from the Kelley Stand Road (round trip)


Easy hike to bag a hundred highest summit. Hike up took us two hours to cover 3.8 miles. And the hike down took 1:40. We saw some cool moose tracks in the lower part of the trail.
