Thank you to Bill Robichaud for the timely report. My ankle is still a mess after snowshoe running into a posthole, so snow free trail reports are very helpful.
Eagle Cliff Trail to Eagle Cliff was virtually snow free (one very tiny, avoidable patch) and mostly dry, both via the cliffs route and the bypass. Squam Lake is still mostly covered in ice, making for an interesting contrast.
Lots of wildlife out at sunset, including turkeys gobbling near the ledge, a porcupine downclimbing a steep ledge backwards (neat to watch...used his/her tail to feel out each step), and a fox running alongside the road. |
