Mt. Jackson via Webster-Jackson Trail
Date of Hike: Monday, May 4, 2009
Trail Conditions: Bare ground, mud, snow monorail, ice monorail
Special Equipment Required: Light traction helpful
Comments:
Mostly bare ground (typical Webster-Jackson mud of course) all the way up to the Webster-Jackson split. A few small patches of monorail here and there, but easily avoided and should be gone in a few days. A few annoying blowdowns that will require an axe to remove. Water crossings not too bad (though the first one has some wet rocks).
Monorail starts shortly after Webster-Jackson split. Was firm enough to boot without postholing. Wore Microspikes for traction. Top brook crossing still snowbridged, but probably not for long. Mucky area up high (where bog bridges are) still has a 3-5 feet monorail on top of audible water. Alpine zone ledges are bare and dry. I removed a few blowdowns, but a few still remain.
