Date(s) Hiked: July 19th

Trails(s) Hiked: Dublin trail

Total Distance: 4.4 miles RT, approx 1700 feet of elevation gain

Difficulty: Easy to moderate

Conditions: great

Special Required Equipment: a headlamp if you start after 6:00 PM, it was a bit breezy but nothing unusual

Trip Report: Started at 6:20 & made great time up reaching the summit in just over 59 minutes. trail in good shape & there is work being done to trail, passed about 10 people on my way up & three others were at the summit when I arrived. Just stayed for 7 minutes up top, enough for some food, water & to see the sun reflecting of either the Pru or more likely the Hancock Building in Boston, back to the car by 8:15 & in Keene gas is going for anywhere from 287.9 to 283.9 where I filled up & topped off.

7/20 planning on heading to South Taconics unless T-storms look probable.
