Mt. Kearsarge, NH |

 | Trails: |
Rollins Trail, Winslow Trail |
|
 | Date of Hike: |
Saturday, August 10, 2024 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parking at Winslow was full when I left. Only complaint is that there is construction happening (on the pit toilets, I think). That left three very unmaintained porta-potties. No tp, dirty, gross. If we want folks to leave no trace (including human feces) on our trails, we need to do a better job at providing adequate potty locations, when those are posted/expected. |

None |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail conditions arefine despite the storm last night. Only issue is that both trails are soaked. Waterfalls (pretty) all down Rollins and just wet wet wet down Winslow. Slippery. |
|

Lots of happy pups on the trails...plenty of water for them! Ha! |

 | Comments: |
I've probably done this hike 15 times and this was the slipperiest it's been, with all of the recent rain. If you're venturing out soon, know that it might be slow-going, especially on the way down. Was glad I grabbed my poles. |
