 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Quite a few blowdowns on Attitash Trail, between Table and Big Attitash, a couple of duck under ones to boot! The on trail swamp had to be walked through, a couple of bog bridges could solve that issue. Also, pretty brushy near the Big Attitash summit, and faintly marked in this section as well. I found the trail between Middle Moat and South Moat to be sparsely marked, leading to some confusion. I don't recall it being this way the last time I did it. Trails in otherwise good shape. |

A great day for a sleep deprived traverse, one of the ridge of Attitash, and one of the Moats. Attitash Trail was pretty, though scrappy (between Table and Big Attitash) and rough (from Big Attitash to Moat Mountain Trail) in spots. It took us quite a bit longer than we anticipated! On to the Moats, the trail up to North Moat was as relentless as I remembered it, and it was quite windy on the peak. The rest of the peaks went well, and before we knew it, beer and dinner were being spoken of. A great way to spend a Wednesday, thanks Ashley!
