|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
All trail free of blowdowns and well marked with the exception of near the Rattle River Shelter to Rte 2--where are the white AT blazes? From the beginning of the Rattle River Trail to Shelburne Moriah the first 100 feet is a terrible big mud pit but that was the worst of it thankfully. Most bog bridges are in good condition with a good number of small bad mud pits in between but not bad. I was able to keep my feet dry. Also from Rattle River to Shelburne Moriah the trail is in desperate need of clipping. Where it wasn't ledge it was difficult to see thru the spruce hiding the bog bridges and foot bed. The overgrown boughs were really rough on my bare legs. |

Love the trip up to Mount Surprise, lovely views all day. Golfing Gals and pals scored Moriah but declinded to accompany me to Shelburne Moriah. Saw only a handful of people on the trail but there were a half dozen on Moriah summit that came up via Stony Brook. I was all by my lonesome on Shelburne Moriah. Super duper day. |
