Parking lot is plowed and the outhouses are accessible, although to TP.
I didn’t need snowshoes, but microspikes came in handy. Only a few inches and the trail is well travelled and easy to follow.
0.75mi from the summit there are post holes to watch out for, which become worse the last 0.2mi blue blaze off the AT. The snow is strong enough to walk on top of at higher elevation.
The trail up the eyebrow looked well trodden and some tracks going down to Speck Pond. No tracks from the fire tower following the Grafton Loop. |
