| Comments: |
From recent warm temps, there are spots on all the trails that have open water. Also a few spots where you can break through the snow into 2-3 inches of water. Easy to get around though. Webster Slide Trail's steep section was a waterfall of water right down the trail. The trail from 25 to the Webster Slide trail didn't seem to have many blazes but I found the corridor easy to follow. From the Webster Slide Trail to Mt. Mist was harder to follow with less of a defined corridor. Both Webster Slide Trail and the pond spur were blazed very well. Very windy near Wyatt Hill and Mt. Mist with 1-3ft. snow drifts. My tracks will most likely be gone soon as they had almost disappeared by the time I made my way back. Turned around at Mt. Mist due to loosing interest in breaking trail. It does not look like anyone has been up to Mt. Mist from 25C recently. |
