One stream crossing where the Boulder Loop Trail transitions from flat to steeper was really treacherous - too wide to step/jump over and you could not tell whether the rocks were wet or covered with black ice. |

 | Comments: |
No snow anywhere. The Main Trail and Brook Trail which we took up were mostly dry, with some iced-over puddles and a fair amount of frozen mud. The summit slabs were mostly bare, with some icy patches which were easily avoidable. The Boulder Loop Trail (our descent) had major ice flows down much of the center of the trail, but there were plenty of dry areas on the sides. We were in bareboots for the whole round, which worked fine except for the stream crossing mentioned above, which was challenging. |
