    Mud Season Status

    I'm noticing a few people have been reporting in the trail conditions page that they've been summiting the ADK high peaks. Does this mean they are in good shape and I could fit one in this weekend or the next, or is mud season still in force? Has anyone been up there lately to give sound advice...
