Trail: Jay Peak and Big Jay via the Long Trail and bootleg ridge trail Date Hiked: 8/14/2007 Conditions: The L/T is getting slightly brushy just below the ski trail crossing, otherwise it's in excellent condition. The well-worn bootleg ridge trail to Big Jay is easy to find and follow. There are several blowdowns and mud bogs to contend with on the ridge traverse, but most of them are quite manageable. Special Required Equipment: Waterproof high-top boots. Comments: As expected, there were no views from the wooded summit of Big Jay. However, I was very surprised to find some nice views along the ridge. This is a worthwhile outing, even if you are not an obsessive peakbagger. Submitted by: Jurassic Punk |
