Saturday, October 31, 2015 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I was able to drive right to the trailhead proper, mostly because of the fancy new bridges on Rapid Stream Rd. The last 1/2 mile after that was rough and required care to drive. Use good judgment when driving to this trailhead. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Ice - Breakable Crust, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant, Leaves - Significant/Slippery |

 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All rock-hopped except the very first one, which I crossed on a log going up and walked right through on the way down. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few big blowdowns down low. Getting around them is not an issue, though. Also, not a trail issue per se, but when I got to the summit, the old fire tower frame was knocked over on the ground on its side. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw none. |

Couldn't have asked for a better day to hike Mt. Abraham! Crystal clear skies and cold, crisp air made for some killer views! Since there was almost no wind on the top, I didn't need to put on any winter gear either! To top it all off, I didn't see anyone the whole time! One of only a handful of 4K hikes where that's happened. Great 21st birthday hike, and a great day to bag #60 on the New England 67! |
