 | Comments: |
Mill Brook to Roger’s Ledge campsite was wet, muddy but nothing unmanageable. Roger’s ledge campsite in good condition and dry. Trail up to Roger’s Ledge was fairly dry, with some wet spots. Roger’s Ledge to Unknown Pond was very wet, muddy, but manageable. Unknown Pond peak elevation to Unknown Pond had about a mile of snow. Snow was not stable, and several feet deep, but not unmanageable with water proof/insulated boots. Unknown Pond Trail southbound to parking lot was VERY wet. Water streams running in trail , very muddy. Several areas of very deep mud. Several significant water crossings. Overall, very wet and muddy with some snow at higher elevation, would recommend gators on boots. |
