 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Water crossing at the beginning of the Jewell Link - we ended there and so we waded through it - there is no bridge across and rock hopping doesn’t work. I recommend going up Ammonoosuc instead |

 | Comments: |
I would not recommend going up here anymore this winter unless you are experienced. Ice and snow is fine, there is very little up there, but we were getting zero visibility and gusts up to 75 mph on Washington. The Gulfside Trail passes a straight drop-off into Huntington Ravine, which is really, really sketchy. The Jewell Trail is much easier than the Ammonoosuc and is much more gradual, although the Ammonoosuc is shorter. |
