I did Waumbec via Starr King in July 11, 2004 (Man, it seemed like yesterday). The Starr King Trail was in pristeen condition. The blow downs started immediately afterward, many had been there quite a while, as evidenced by the side trails around many of them. I did an out and back and I thought I had them counted and written down somewhere, but I can't find it. I don't know where the fish hatchery is. Happy trails, and wear leather boxers.

I went across the Weeks a couple of weeks ago and most if not all the blowdowns were gone. It's a nice little hike across the ridge and starting to get even better with the change in foliage.

Thanx DougPaul for chirping in... I was really trying to get my bearings. Do you think I need a GPS? Which one? I guess after the BakeOff this weekend you'll have some better insight...Let me know. For this one I'm taking my Car to the TrailHead and plan on hiking with Map and Compass..I'll let you know if I get Back!

The roads are adequately marked and there is a nice large parking lot--I drove via Berlin. The trail to Bunnell Notch is also easy to follow. The descriptions are in the guidebook.skiguy said:
There is a gate at the Fish Hatchery which may be closed at night. Ask at the hatchery.
Never done the Weeks, so I have no beta on them. Shouldn't need a GPS for the driving and I'm sure that others have done the hike without.

Good to see they're maintaining the Weeks trails, "yellow dog". These (3) peaks were mostly open woods bushwhacks when we did them back in the early 1980s, and again later in winter (1988). I always wondered why they put them (trails) there at all since none of the peaks have open view points as I recall.
I believe that the trail across the Weeks was blazed to be part of the longer Kilkenny Range Trail, which IMHO, is one of the finest one-day traverses in the Whites.
