Aaahh! What a sigh of relief! I feel so fortunate! Just like my other adopted trails, the Mt. Tremont Trail suffered no significant damages resulting from Hurricane Irene.
When I arrived at the trailhead, I was somewhat surprised to see other cars parked there, especially since there are numerous signs along westbound Rt. 302 indicating that the road is closed beyond Bartlett. Regardless, during the course of my trek along the trail I met up with these other hikers. One group was from New Hampshire, and the other from Connecticut. They were all having a wonderful day of hiking in the Whites!
Although the Mt. Tremont Trail suffered no significant damage from the storm, a few segments of the trail did experience some erosion due to the heavy amount of water running down the trail.
In terms of blowdowns, I removed three from the trail corridor during this visit. There are still a few downed trees that I'll need to address on a future maintenance trip. But, please be assured that with only a slight break in your stride, each of those remaining blowdowns can easily be stepped over or ducked under. (That is a true statement as of the day of my visit on 09-Sep-2011. Things can happen quickly in the forest. Who knows when another tree might fall onto the trail corridor!)
My BLOG (link below) has some photos taken during this trek. |
