 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The big lot on West Side Road fills up with the vehicles of Diana's Baths bathers and requires a fee. The Bear Notch Rd. lot for the Attitash Trailhead is smallish, but I've had it to myself both summer Saturdays I've parked there. |

|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Several crossings of Lucy and Attitash Brooks, some said to be difficult in high water, which we didn't have. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Attitash Trail is a little rough, esp. between the summits of Table and Big Attitash, with a number of blowdowns. One short boggy section is a little hard to follow. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
We had a poodle-mix with us who did pretty well, although some of the blowdowns were a challenge. The breezes helped. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Blackflies were a bit heavy in a few places, but not bad overall. |

 | Comments: |
This was the route TV/radio guy Ted O'Brien intended to take when he got lost for 3 days in 2001, but in the other direction. The Attitash Trail is rough but attractive, and probably a lot easier to follow than in '01. |
