| Comments: |
No problems following the Old Summer Club Trail. The first part has signs at the intersections, the rest is on the Cohos Trail and has yellow blazes. The Old Summer Club Trail is snow and ice free except for a 10 yd section near the top in a difficult location. The Victor Head Side Trail has no blazes and is snow and ice free, but is easy to follow. The South Percy Spur Trail has several ice patches and a few snow drifts. The most difficult ice patch is right at the beginning. We wished we had brought our spikes. The trail does not have any blazes but is easy to follow. We saw 3 people today. |
