| Comments: |
Afternoon hike of Snow-Cupsuptic. Very straightforward and quick hike, only about 3.5mi round trip. In the lower open areas there are cairns to help you with turns. Once you get into the trees, the footbed is pretty obvious most of the way, with only a couple of fern patches and blowdowns occasionally obscuring the trail. One of the easier NEHH hikes (minus the getting-there part!). |
