Tributaries of Nineteen Mile Brook are spanned by bridges. On some bridges a log is bent/broken by the remaining logs are sufficient for a safe crossing |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails in good condition. There are a few spots where there is water erosion from the brooks overtopping their banks during a past storm. Flagging in these areas hints at a future repair of the trail. Lots of fallen trees removed from the trails. One was cut today. An AMC crew was working on rock step placement today on the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail. One two trunk tree across Nineteen Mile Brook Trail uphill from the junction with Carter Dome Trail. This tree can be easily stepped over at a point just off the trail. |

 | Comments: |
The very beginning of the Nineteen Mile Brook Trail is very muddy as the re-route section has not hardened. There are a few other muddy spots but overall the trails were mostly dry. Many bog bridges on the Wildcat Ridge Trail. Watch out for the sloped bog bridges if surfaces are wet.
Great views of the Presidential Range and the eastern ravines. Also good views down to Carter Notch and over the Wild River valley.
Lots of hikers out today including AT thru hikers from Colorado, Indiana, and Germany. |
