Had to wade through knee deep water across Lucy Brook (Attitash to Red Ridge Trail) - no way to bypass it. Otherwise, a few unavoidable puddles you had to slosh through. Lucy Brook on the return loop (Moat Mtn to Attitash trail) had a wide downed tree across it. |

 | Comments: |
Did 10 mile loop starting from West Side Road parking area via Attitash to Red Ridge to Moat Mtn back to Attitash. Temps were in the high 30s, trail was very muddy - gaiters were a big help. No difficulties on the ascent. It was pretty windy and chilly on top of North Moat, and light traces of snow showed up above 2,500ft, but no spot required traction devices. The descent from North Moat took rather long as the rocks were extremely wet and slippery, with water running down the trail in numerous places. Few trail markers at the beginning of the trail - took a wrong turn after Diana's baths and had to back track. The correct trail ascends along Diana's baths (do NOT veer right after that point). |
