 | Comments: |
There are some small mud spots and some standing water on the trail down in the lower elevation. Lots of roots on the trail. The upper section of the trail is a series of steep switchbacks including one spot that is badly eroded making for awkward footing.
There is very little snow/ice on the trail starting just below 3,000 feet. The longest stretch of snow/ice runs about 15 feet in length. No need for traction. There are small spots of ice that somewhat blend in with the ground that could result in slippage.
Great views of the Sandwich Range, Sawyer Pond, and Mt Carrigain and Carrigain Notch from the summit ledge. There is a USGS benchmark at the top. The Waterville ski area can be seen in the distance. On descent, I could see Mt Eisenhower and Oakes Gulf with no leaves on the hardwood trees. Mt Washington was in the clouds.
Nobody else on Mt Tremont today. |
