Date of Hike: Fri. May 7, 2010
Trails: Hancock Notch, Cedar Brook, Hancock Loop
Trails mostly bare with small patches of snow to the Loop Jct.
We went up the north trail. It was mostly bare with some patches of snow. No special traction required here. From the north peak and across the ridge we wore snowshoes. There is still 1 to 3 feet of snow up there.
From the South Peak down, the trail was packed with snow the whole way. We wore spikes down to the Loop Jct.
Water crossing were made with wet boots, or dry boots if one wanted to walk the logs.
Bill Marcotte and I cleared most of the blowdowns on the entire route. Some chainsaw size remaining. The trail is in descent shape now.
Some mud and running water in the trails.
