| Comments: |
Took a less traveled route today to finish the upper portion of Walden trail prior to East Loop for the redline. WRT was packed out a mile up and then the tracks ceased. We broke trail all the way to Square Ledge trail intersection, which looked well packed out coming from Passaconaway Cutoff/Kanc. Walden trail to summit was lightly broken, and Dicey's Mill has seen significant traffic. Lumpy up top due to barebooting, but solid packed further down. Rollins trail looked packed out pretty well. Certainly a wonderful day for my third summit of Passaconaway with good company. |
