Not a lot of blowdowns but it is a bit difficult to follow Franconia Brook above 13 Falls. Tons of mud and water on Franconia Brook Trail. Lincoln Woods is also softening into a muddy slog. |

Beware the north side of Lafayette - Very slick with wet snow on icy rock. I’d wear snowshoes between Skookumchuck junction and 13 Falls and Microspikes everywhere else. |
