 | Comments: |
The lower portion to Diana's baths is a packed and relatively busy. The trail remains packed but less busy to the Lucy Brook crossing. Loose powder beyond the Lucy Brook crossing. Not a lot of snow but deep drifts just below the summit where you'll want snow shoes. Before Saturday, there was no track beyond the Attitash trail split where the Moat Mountain trail gets steep. Wore snow shoes the whole way but not really necessary until after the junction with the Attitash Trail. There is a nice track now but still very loose snow. Beautiful day. Beautiful views. |
