 | Comments: |
We were able to do the entire hike in bare boots. There were a few extended sections of snow and monorail on Dicey's Mill where we could have used microspikes, but by being careful they were not necessary. In general, the trails were all in very good shape. The Waldren Trail coming down off Passaconaway is steep with a lot of loose rocks. I would recommend going back down Dicey's Mill trail. |
