Trails: Pine Bend Brook Trail
A few muddy sections down low. About half a dozen minor blow downs. Stream Crossings easy.
The summit cone had some ice left. Somewhat easy to get around going up. Coming down a little bit more tricky. But the cone is even tricky in summer due to the wetness and eroded scrambles.
The ridge walk was uneventful, except for some backpackers who decided to overnight in the middle of the trail.
No special equipment needed. The tourist hikers are now out in full force for the start of the summer season.
Since most of the trails are snow free now, I probably won't be posting any more trail conditions until Fall or if something comes up in the mean time.
