Trail Conditions: dry, easy to follow, any downed trees or large branches easy to avoid, in lower section where a couple had been uprooted, the trail has been relocated around.
Special Equipment Required: sunscreen until the leaves come in.
Comments: my 2nd time here, the first was on the AT from the south. From the Inn, the AT has been relocated a bit all the way to it's first meeting with the road. It's now a well groomed stone dust path with 100's of steps. Still a pretty steep climb.
My first time I went up for sunrise so this was my first trip in Perkins Tower, very inspirational & informative. The Descent on Major Welch was either very easy or quite steep, it went from one to the other. For a 1,300 ft peak & approx 4 miles long, it's quite a workout & very close to NYC. This weekend, off to Race & Everett in MA
