 | Comments: |
Fresh 1-3 inches of powder down low and 5-10 towards the summit made trail breaking very easy. Snowshoes recommended, crampons would be overkill. Look to the left of the white house where you park to find the trailhead. There is a kiosk by the parking area but the trail is 100 feet away in back of it. Nothing steep about this one and some great views of the Sandwich Range at the summit. Continue past the false summit to the cairn about 2 tenths of a mile from the lookout area. |
