 | Water Crossing Notes: |
One on Dicey's Mills, water was low but theres a massive sturdy log to cross. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Signs seemed fine, when we got to the "loop" to do the Passaconaway summit there was a non wooded sign pointing you in the right direction. Ideally go up on the left and come down on the right. Whereas the wooden sign says to go right. I would say it was fairly equal difficulty. There are blue blazes but they kinda disappear for a bit but still an easy trail to follow as long as you know what trails you are trying to do. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
only saw dogs coming down Passaconaway and a couple down Dicey's Mill. Seemed fine. The trail was fairly dry on Blueberry Ledge so make sure you have water for your companion. |
|
 | Bugs: |
none that were obvious. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
I found a Lime Green Water bottle randomly on the trail, put it in the box at the parking area. Not sure how someone forgets their water bottle. Also found (AND DID NOT TOUCH) a pair of boxers coming down Dicey's Mill Trail.... I really don't even understand that one.... gross. |

Fairly decent day, kinda muggy in the am but started to get breezy. Decent amount of cloud cover but you could still see out especially as you approach the Rock Scrambles to get to Whiteface. So we got some great views. Then dense clouds came in as we made our way to Passaconaway which gave us a delightful view of the cloud covering the summit. Started to rain as we made our way down.
Around 3pm or so as we started to drive away there were 2 Moose (male and female) in a field just walking and observing the 10+ cars that pulled over to snap some pictures. |
