First part of the trail is very wet -you have to canoe or kayak across Paradox Lake from the campsite boat launch to get to the real trailhead. Once on the north shore of the lake, the trail starts right up hill, levels out for a mile, and then gets fairly steep. The total climb from the lake...

Was planning on doing both Dial and Nippletop but it took me too long to get to Dial - one of those slow days. In any case the trail to Dial is in great shape. No blowdown and only one small muddy patch. Parts of the trail on the Noonmark shoulder get lots of sunlight (still growing back from...

Long but easy hike to the firetower on Woodhull Mt. Trail is in great shape with one minor wet spot. Walking on the old railroad bed makes for a quick pace. The hike up the actual mountain never gets very steep. The firetower is open to just below the cab. You do have to climb the tower to...

A great day to do a High Peak. It was cool and clear all day. No sign of any flying pests. The trail up the Brothers was mostly dry. After the third Brother, I did run into some mud and running water on the trail but nothing that was a problem. As the trail started to climb up Big Slide...
