 | Comments: |
These peaks were beautiful and afforded excellent views of Doubletop, Katahdin, the Klondike and Norther and Southern peaks. I didn't see a soul on the trail until my descent from North Brother in the afternoon.
While the AMC guidebook mentioned the rock face on Coe, it didn't make note of how steep this section is and especially if the rocks were wet. I went up this trail and the rocks were mossy, wet and very slippery. I had to be very cautious in several places so as not to slide down the face. I do not recommend this trail for descent if there is any amount of water on the rocks. If it is very wet, I would not recommend this trail at all. |
