Trail: Webster-Jackson Trail, Webster Cliff Trail, Crawford Path, Eisenhower Loop, Monroe Loop, Gulfside, Jewell Trail

Conditions: Dry Trail

“No snow/ice on the trails all day (there were a bunch of people who drove up the auto road and then hiked down to a chute on Clay into the Great Gulf and they said it was great. Mitzpah hut was open and had water and the usual items for sale. Nobody was around. Sherman Adams cafeteria on Washington was open (kitchen was not open) but you could get water and snacks and sweatshirts, etc. Things I saw today: A glider using the thermals over Monroe. A guy doing a Presi traverse looking for tape as the sole of his shoe was coming off. (he was trucking) A guy trying to do a triple Presi in 24 hours. (Appalachia-Crawford-Appalachia-Crawford). Yikes! Mt. Clinton Rd and Jefferson Notch rd still closed.”

Trail: Crawford Connector, Crawford Path, Webster Cliff Trail, Eisenhower Loop, Edmands Path, Mt. Clinton Road

Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail

“Trails are in great condition for the long weekend. Mt Clinton road is still closed, and Edmands has a handful of avoidable but nasty blow downs. Otherwise, go out and have fun. Was thrilled to see Chief for the second time in a week and check out his hand saw. Was even more thrilled to see he was with UNE legend Professor Jerry from...*gulp* 28 years ago. Still bringing the energy!”

Trail: Crawford Connector, Crawford Path, Webster Cliff Trail, Eisenhower Loop

Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable

“In and out hike - Clinton Road still closed. Trail conditions were good - some walk thru mud - generally dry. This trail doesn't get much better than this. Good time to snag Pierce and Eisnehower.”
