Trail Maintenance Notes: Tree crown blocking Carter Ledge trail about 1/4 mile above lower Middle Sister junction with herd path going around. Also one step over just a little before Middle Sister rejoined Carter Ledge at lower junction. Middle Sister, just below upper junction with Carter Ledge could use some brushing. Several areas of significant erosion on Middle Sister below those areas. I cleared many deadfalls off Middle Sister, too.
