Square Ledge, Mt. Passaconaway, Hibbard Mountain via Old Mast Road, Square Ledge Trail, East Loop, Walden Trail, Wonalancet Range Trail
Date of Hike: Sunday, May 18, 2008
Trail Conditions: Dry ground, mud, spring snow
Special Equipment Required: None
Comments:
Old Mast Road to Four Way - dry and bare, no blowdowns.
Square Ledge Trail to Square Ledge - mostly dry, few minor patches of snow, no blowdowns. Brook crossings no problem.
Square Ledge Trail to Passaconaway Cutoff junction - mostly dry, minor patches of snow, significant blowdown (two large trees uprooted), was able to remove most of the rest of the blowdowns.
Square Ledge Trail to Walden Trail junction - patches of snow, including a .1-.2 or so mile stretch, 6"-2' deep. Was able to clear most of the blowdowns/branches.
East Loop to Passaconaway - two annoying blowdowns down low, was able to clear most of the rest, some minor patches of snow, mostly dry up to the vistas. The .1 or so mile from the last vista, past the view spur patch, to the summit, consistent 1-3' or so of snow with monorail.
Walden Trail to Wonalancet Trail - mostly dry, patches of snow on the way to Nanamocomuck. Was able to clear most of the blowdowns/branches.
Wonalancet Trail to Hibbard - mostly dry, some minor blowdowns remaining.
Wonalancet Trail to Ferncroft - significant blowdown mess between the Hibbard vistas, otherwise I was able to clear most of the blowdowns. Snow free.
Bugs weren't bad at all!
