Mt. Webster, Mt. Morgan, Squam Mts. High Point, Mt. Squam
Mt. Morgan trail conditions: occasional water/mud/rocks/leaves, but mostly hard packed. Followed Mt. Morgan trail to C-R trail jct. C-R trail had a hard surface with a visible concave snowshoe trough to Mt. Webster bw point. Several summit contenders on Webster, with the bump with the cairn appearing to be the best one.
C-R trail from Mt. Morgan tr. jct to Mt. Percival tr. jct hard packed, with apparent high winter traffic. Short bw to Squam Mts. High Point- a few summit contenders here too.
C-R trail from Mt. Percival Tr. jct to Mt Squam had a nice, flat snowshoe trough.
Snow on southerly facing slopes starting to get mushy. Stiff north wind kept the day cold.
The entire hike was booted with microspikes. Absolutely NO post holing on any trail. Occasional shallow postholing on the bws. |
