 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Brackett Brook crossings were a puzzle. scouted downstream for 1/8 of mile with no luck, went upstream 1.8 mile from crossing and found some not great options. Went for it upsteam about an 1/8 of mile and bushwhacked bac to trail. Had to do some rock jumping onto icy rocks with the crossing on the way up. Pick your comfort level. Come back across and found a crossing a little closer to the trail crossing. Real chance of going in right now. |

 | Comments: |
Nice hike from 25a up Mt. Cube Trail. lots of ice flows and frozen monorail. Microspikes the whole way up. Some spots of bare ground and mud. Ice Flows about 2400 feet were pretty consistent, watch your footing and bring hiking poles for stability. Overall a good trip aside from the water crossings. |
