We did the loop clockwise. Put snowshoes on from the start and they remained on for the day. If you do not wear snowshoes you will be very very sorry. Only an inch of new snow on a relatively solid base to start. At the Tom Wiggins Junction, we encountered more snow and drifts of several inches. The trail disappears and reappears in several areas. We found the ledges to be reasonable today, using the snow for an extra boost to get up a few sections. It was firm, which gave us a good grip.
The Rollins Trail was easy in snow shoes, but there was 3 to 5 inches of drifts. If you stayed on the firm base it was smooth sailing. We saw zero post holes. We were likely the only set of tracks today in that section.
Up to Passaconaway was nicely packed. We encountered another group of three snowshoes on our way back down from Passaconaway. They had come up dicey mill trail.
On the way down, the trail was getting very sticky and we were getting balls on our snow shoes so I can’t imagine the nightmare this would be in spikes.
It was a fantastic LAST trip to Passaconaway in wonder winter conditions.
12 times and never again !!! |
