Parking/Access Road Notes: Camels Hump road is marked "closed to trails". I parked about 1.25 miles from the trailhead and received a very nice kudos from a property owner who thanked me for not driving further and damaging the already damaged road.

Comments: The Burrows Trail contained a plethora of spring conditions on this last day of winter. The lower 0.5 mile was wet and muddy which switched over to an hard pack ice crust. I barebooted the first mile of trail then switched to 6 point strap on cramp-on's as the middle mile of trail became a solid pack of ice. Traction will definitely be required. The final 0.5 miles to the summit was a hard pack monorail filled with post holes. Snow was melting fast and it was nice to get a final 4k mountain this winter.
