This trail to the South-west end of the Squam Range, was hard packed but not at all icy, and pretty smooth from snow-shoes. Very pleasant.
I used snowshoes on the way up and traction devices going down, but nothing special was required.
I met a group of ten or so near the top, with maybe 7 bare-booting, and I noticed no real dents on the way down.
Just below the top, I lost track of my beagle Molly.
A few steps later I came across signs of a deer carcass.
At the summit sign there were the forelegs and spine and tons of hair and tracks. Near-by I found a skinned hide, left by a hunter I guess?
The group behind me said they had met Molly coming down to greet them.
I caught Molly quite a ways down shivering in the trail.
I would have expected her to be all over the deer parts and wondered if she had smelled predators and got scared?
