Mt Cotton/Livermore 11/29

[Unregistered]

A lovely little 4.3 mi/1600' elevation gain loop trail for when you don't have much time or can't drive all the way into the Whites. On Sat 11/29 there was 3-6 inches of hardpacked snow on entire circuit. Stabilicers were very helpful but you also probably bareboot it or try snowshoes. Lovely views of Squam Lake from summits and along much of Crawford-Ridgepole Trail through the leafless trees. On the descent, Old Mountain Road/Old Highway trails were basically gulleys of running water, but easily maneuvered around.
