 | Comments: |
Dicey's Mill Trail was unbroken since the past couple of storms. The surface was primarily an ice crust over heavy snow which created resistance on ascent. The snow depth increased at higher elevations. The path is now broken out from trailhead to Mt Passaconaway summit. There was no recent activity evident on the Rollins Trail, East Loop, and the Walden Trail. Dicey's Mill Trail is a bit chewed up from bare boot activity to a point just uphill of the brook crossing. Saw a bright red cardinal before reaching the Tom Wiggin Trail. |
