 | Comments: |
Headed out from traditional Ferncroft parking in the direction of Blueberry Ledge trail, and took the sneaky left turn onto Pasture Path after the last driveway. Nice grades, pretty trail with a solid bed. A few patches of crunchy snow or ice here and there, but never felt the need to throw on microspikes. Bare booted roundtrip, stepping with care where necessary. One small section had water running down it, but again..fine with care. There has been some logging around the junction with Tilton Springs and Red Path, not sure how old, but it allows for some scenery to peek through with the downed leaf. Summit views were good - bold views to Chocorua, and nice views to Passaconaway and Wonalancet Hedgehog.
Red Path has one large step over, and was very wet in places on the lower portion of the trail. Otherwise was good! Lot had filled up on return, but still had a few spaces available. |
