The parking area is about 5.4 miles down Success Pond Road from Hutchins St. in Berlin. The road was surprisingly busy and not well-maintained; take your time. Space for three to four cars to pull in. We parallel parked on the side of the road. Two cars when we arrived and five when we left. |

| Water Crossing Notes: |
No issues today, all rock-hoppable and manageable. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
East of Outlook Trail, as you make your way toward Mahoosuc Trail, there are several hundred linear feet of bog bridges that are in very poor condition and in need of replacement. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
I don't think this day's trail conditions would make for happy dogs. |

On the summit of Success and in the parking area. Nothing at The Outlook. |

| Comments: |
Due to the recent rains the trails were wet and in some sections very muddy.
Stunning views from both the Outlook and the summit.
Be prepared for one chimney on Mahoosuc Trail between the junction of Success and the summit. About a 15 foot vertical drop/climb.
We were a bit behind schedule and didn't take the time to look for the airplane wreckage. |
