 | Comments: |
We wore snowshoes from above the ledges to the true summit and during the descent prior to the rocky scramble. Blueberry Cut-Off was much wetter and more slippery than the Blueberry Ledge Trail. We bare-booted for the majority of our ascent but put on microspikes after the the clearing where the junction with the Blueberry Cut-off is. Snowshoes were not absolutely necessary but would be helpful once above the ledges and if you were going to press on to Passaconaway.
A big thanks to S.A. and H.A. for another great hike. |
