 | Comments: |
From vehicle, took well beaten both snowshoed and skied Blue Loop Trail and Red Trail to summit. Summit bottle located on same tree that marks the Cole Hill summit. The cord attaching the bottle had broken, but fortunately the bottle had not fallen to the ground but instead got nested in the spruce branches. We reattached the cord to a branch. Two magnificent viewpoints are located on the eastern leg of the Blue Loop trail.
Nice trail map available on the website of the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust. |
