Comments
Comments: Trail was mostly dry and in good shape. Some slippery rock.

Summit is much nicer now, as the old hotel has been replaced with a two story visitor center and some trees have been removed. While the upper decks are only accessible via going inside the visitor center (dogs not allowed inside), the lower decks provide excellent views as well, ranging from the Adirondacks to the Greens to Mt. Greylock.

Congratulations to Jeb on finishing the New England 100 Highest!
