 | Water Crossing Notes: |
We looked at crossing Perry stream around the 112/140 junction, but lack of stable ice bridges, prompted us to play it safe and do a little extra trail distance.
We crossed a minor drainage on the way up W. Deer on snow bridge. |

 | Comments: |
We walked in on 112 to 140 (headed south and across the stream), to 147. From a point south of W. Deer, we bushwhacked up to the recognized highpoint. We retraced our steps and made a side trip to Big Brook Bog Mountain from the height of land on 112. 112 runs close to the peak to the south. The highpoint is recognized.
Snow is deeper than in the Whites, but very well consolidated. There was just a few inches of powder on top. Snow was mainly supportive with occasional fragile exceptions.
The lines we found offered wide open woods, with occasional tighter spots to wind around.
We both had hiked Big Brook Bog Mountain from the north in the past, but noted that from corridor 112 from the south may be the easiest way in all seasons. |
