Date of Hike: 08/15/09

Trail Conditions: relatively dry after +/- 2 days without rain; otherwise many soggy, mucky spots

Special Equipment Required: dry footwear and poles useful

Comments: Jerusalem Trail is easy to follow and blazed in blue paint; someone left pink flagging tape- seems redundant. Nice trail. Some good views from the Long Trail enroute. This is the first peak I've been on with a ski lift sitting right on top of the summit. It's still nice up there, with good but hazy summer views to Stark Mtn, Camel's Hump, Lake Champlain, etc. Two hawks were riding thermal currents near the summit.
