Trail Conditions:
As of the date of this report, the Mt. Tremont Trail is in relatively good condition from trailhead to summit. There are some wet & muddy spots here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary for many White Mountain trails at this time of the year (especially considering the number of rainy days). There are some old blowdowns, but none currently pose a problem (see additional comments below).
Comments:
The Mt. Tremont Trail is one of my adopted trails. As indicated in a Trip Report filed on 19-May-2009, many blowdowns and debris were removed during my May maintenance trip. However, I also indicated that some blowdowns remained and stated: “Sometime over the next few months, I’ll eventually remove most of these blowdowns, however a Forest Service crew might be needed to remove some of the larger ones.”
So as a follow-up, I made a return trip today and removed what could be taken care of with an ax & hand saw. You'll still come across a few large blowdowns (most of which have been there for years). However, all of these are now very easy to go over, under or around. Perhaps once funding and resources become available, then a Forest Service crew can eventually do a complete removal.
