Carrigain via Signal Ridge, Carrigain Notch, Desolation, Signal Ridge

Date of Hike: 9/5/10

Trail Conditions: All trails dry, except a few muddy sections on the Carrigain Notch Trail. Desolation, though relentlessly steep was easier than I remembered because of dry conditions. Stream crossings all easy.

Special Equipment Required: Poles help on the descent. Windgear for the top (tower).

Comments: Abby the pup's first 4K - had to do it in style the longer/harder way. She sailed through the entire trip - all 25 lbs of her! It was windy and chilly up top. Rain held off. We last made this trip 5 years ago in the aftermath of Katrina - what a difference in conditions.

Not that many people (and dogs) for a holiday weekend.
