Lots of blowdowns and branches. Town Line Trail had 5 or 6, but after that I lost count… there are a lot, some of which need to be skirted around. |

AT from Long Pond Road in Glencliff to Route 25A
3-4” of heavy, wet snow throughout. We barebooted the whole thing and never felt the need for traction, definitely not for snowshoes. Lots of puddles on Atwell Hill Trail especially. Branches are beautifully covered with snow which thankfully was not melting/dripping on us.
Hardwoods on Ore Hill section are exceptionally beautiful. Privies at Jeffers Brook and Ore Hill are impressive. WTG Dartmouth Outing Club!
Saw only two other hikers in 13 miles! Great hike with great company. :) |
