 | Comments: |
Oliverian Brook Trail generally in good shape with some muddy spots. Area by beaver pond somewhat flooded but easily passable.
Passaconaway CutOff muddy in many sections and some black ice on north facing ledges near top of trail that can be negotiated without traction. Brook crossing use care to avoid dunking.
Square Ledge Trail generally dry except for small stretch near Paassaconaway CutOff.
Walden Trail, Dicey's Mill Trail, and East Loop are in good shape.
The walk to the north view point well worth the diversion. Great panoramic view from Tripyramid in the west to Chocorua in the east. Mt Washington directly north. A couple of small icy patches on path to north viewpoint but easily by-passed. |
