 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossings going up were easy. Crossing Ammonoosuc river at the very end of Jewell (next to Cog upper parking lot) has no bridge and there was lots of water. Fortunately, there was a jumble of 10 trees placed across the river slightly downstream that kept our feet dry. Otherwise, your feet will get wet. |

Good condition the entire route |

 | Comments: |
The slabs going up Ammonoosuc are fine, but would be tricky coming down (especially if wet). Jewell trail is a very straightforward down hike.
Based on previous reports, we brought microspikes just in case. However, there was zero ice.
Views were great up to within 1 mile of summit. Summit was clouded in with 100' visibility and 58 mph winds. Due to crazy warm November weather (48F summit), we were warm with a light fleece. |
