 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The road from the south rte 124 was muddy and snow covered but passable. 2wd probably can make it, but 4wd is a much safer bet. I am not sure what the road is like to the north heading toward Dublin pond. The lot was not plowed, but only a few inches of fresh snow on mud. |

 | Comments: |
We took the beautiful Dublin trail round trip and there was more snow (around 4") than expected. The hike up was challenging because the snow was clumping to our spikes continuously. Descending was more of the same even after returning under treeline, but less clumping. The lower mile of the trail became a mish mash of snow and firm slush. I would imagine everything will firm up nicely or be a little sloppy depending on temps over the next few days. |
