 | Comments: |
Access road/ski trail portion of the Overlook Trail was generally dry. Some minor mud above there on the Overlook Trail.
Muck and patchy ice (the ice is easily avoided) from the col up to the summit. Also some patchy ice and a little isolated muck on the upper Ridge Trail.
A little bit of running water on the upper Benjamin Weeks Trail, but not bad. North Spur was mostly dry, as was the Ridge Trail down to the parking lot. |
