Comments
Comments: Other than an occasional trace of snow at the higher elevations, the trail was basically dry for the entire distance. However, there was one very notable exception. The final approach to the Owl's Head summit is quite steep, and it had patches of thick ice. It might take a few warm days to melt it away. In the meantime, you should consider bringing your microspikes for the final approach to Owl's Head! Or you could simply limit your visit to the Mt. Martha peaks where no traction is needed.
