All trails are in great shape. The old railbed herdpath is not only cairned, but it's in as good shape as the Devil's Path. Another cairn marks the start of the 2nd herdpath that heads straight up and directly to the canister on Leavitt. Way too easy. The trail up Hunter is really nice. Easy grades all the way made for a fast-paced hike. No mud at all save for a small section on the flattish summit ridge between the old firetower site and the present site. About a dozen others up there, and an asst ranger opened both the cabin and the firetower cab. Very cool. Views were incredible, could even see the High Point monument in NJ with binoculars. Could also see Skytop at Mohonk, at least 20 Cat35 peaks, the Berkshires, Taconics, etc.
