This trail was well tramped out all the way from the trailhead to Norcross Pond. Even the steep switchback section above Nancy Cascade was in good shape with excellent traction.
There were some brief sections of ice during the first mile or so, but overall the the trail consisted of snow that had been well consolidated by previous snowshoe traffic. On sections of trail between Nancy and Norcross Pond, there were some moderate snow drifts, but it caused no issues with being able to follow the trail corridor.
There were a few minor blowdowns, but none were presented any real issue. |
