Cedar Brook Trail Jct, Franconia Brook Tentsite
Bare boots to the tentsite on Saturday morning on the East Side Trail. Snowshoes from the tentsite to the Cedar Brook Trail jct and back to the tentsite. The Wilderness Trail has a buried narrow XC monorail making going frustrating at times if you step off the side. About 4" of snow fell Sunday morning, covering all the postholes on the East Side Trail so snowshoes were in order to navigate the minefield back to the parking lot. Pine Island Trail in good shape. |
