Looking at the small volume of trail reports for Asquam-Ridge Trail, it most certainly lives up to its reputation of being "gently used"! Very pretty trail; reminds me of Cliff Walk on Monadnock, the Mt. Kinsman Trail, and the Hancock Loop Trail. If you enjoy those types of trails, this one is a must. It's quite a bit longer than the other ascents up the Moose (5.9 miles to the summit), but it took me until 5 miles in to see another person on the trails. To have that much peace on one of the busier 4Ks was heavenly.
Lots of folks coming up Gorge Brook as I was heading down. Trail was wet and muddy in many places, but most was pretty easily navigated around. |
