We began with Lost Pond Trail because we were told at Pinkham that the crossing at the beginning of Wildcat Ridge Trail was nearly impassable, though we did not see it for ourselves. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail looks great. No major blowdowns. Occasional running water Nineteen, but easily sidestepped. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I can't image a small dog making it up Wildcat Ridge Trail - too icy. Even a large pooch would have issues. |

Dead. The whole lot of 'em. |

Found a sole black, liner-style, EMS brand glove on Nineteen. Brought it to the trailhead and left it on the parking fee box. |

Lost Pond Trail to Wildcat Ridge Trail in, Nineteen Mile Brook Trail out.
Wildcat Ridge Trail was extremely icy on the steep climb the last 1/4 mile. Nineteen also had some significant ice on the upper portion. |
