 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked on East Mountain Road at the Cranberry Meadow Pond trailhead. We were the only car there until one pulled in as we were leaving. The Raymond trailhead lot was full (4-5 cars) and one car parked on the shoulder. |

|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Several but easily rock-hopped |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Lower sections of Raymond and Cranberry Meadow Pond very leafy. Rock scramble section of Raymond had faded or no blazing on the way up; several herd paths probably created in the winter cause some confusion so head for the rocks and look for crampon scratches to go the right way. |

 | Comments: |
These trails are a potpourri of conditions: leafy sections, some avoidable mud, rocks of all sizes, roots and even a nice pine needle covered stretch. Easy to moderate to steep and back again, even a rock scramble. Picnic tables at the end of Raymond to sit and admire the awesome view! |
