This was #54 for us on the New England 4000 Footers. We went up the Long Trail South. Trail was icy in spots. The Long Trail South gets very steep a little bit after the Taft Lodge, but man was it fun! The intention was to hit Adams Apple and the Chin, but the day was so nice we ended up walking over to the welcome center at the Nose, it was closed, and heading down the Haselton Trail. That dropped us at the ski area and we did a 0.3 mile road walk up RT 108 to our car. This was a great Adventure. |
