 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The big log on Dicey's Mill was easy to navigate. All other crossings were easy. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two 10"-12" blow downs on the Dicey's Mill side of Rollins trail. Easy to get around, but worth cutting up during the next trail work section.
Also, I can't say enough how well maintained these trails are. Dicey's Mill is the trail by which all others should be judged for drainage and steps. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I got to pet the world's friendliest dog three different times today. It was awesome. Seems to have handled the hike to Passaconaway well. |

These two are still mixed conditions, especially with the spring snow recently. Small patches of ice start at 3300 feet. A stable monorail starts at the big overlook 0.25 miles below the Whiteface summit and continues for about a mile down Rollins trail. From the Dicey's Mill junction to Passaconaway is a mix of ice, snow and trail. Going up the ledges were fine.
In other words - I bare booted to the big view point, then threw on spikes until Passaconaway and back down to the Dicey's Mill intersection. Bare booted the rest of the way out.
Great to meet some internet friends in real life including Audrey, John, and maybe the Littlefoot crew although I didn't realize it until later. |
