Trails are drying out fast but you can still find mud especially at higher elevations (ex. to Mount Cube, 2,909-ft) and in low lying areas including this stretch headed east towards Parker Rd from Vershire Center Rd in Vershire. (Vershire work site for National Trails Day on the CRT, Saturday, June 7th.) (Overall, trails are in good shape - please refer to the Spring Hiking Guidelines for the CRT.)
Parking areas are open and clear with the exception of the driveway off of Vershire Center Rd accessing the trailhead to Patterson Mountain (as of 5/12/14). The landowner is working to fix erosion issues and the driveway should be open soon.
Adopters have been out checking on trail conditions and viewing spring flowers. A joint RTA / Green Mountain Club "O"-section hike traversed Sunday Mountain in Orford on Saturday, May 3rd. (Another National Trails Day "4 Towns, 4 Work Events on the CRT" work site).
Unfortunately, spring also means it is tick season.
Always a good idea to do your best to prevent tick bites.

Students from Rivendell will be out on the trail exploring local history and searching for amphibians. This summer will include 2-weeks of the Rivendell Student Trail Crew, the CRT Summer Hiking Challenge, and as well as family hikes on the trail ~ stay tuned.
