Hiking Trail Conditions Report |
| Peaks |
Welch Mountain, Dickey Mountain, NH |
|
| Trails: |
Welch-Dickey Loop Trail |
|
| Date of Hike: |
Sunday, June 3, 2018 |
|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked in the upper (main) lot without a problem at 9:30am Sunday. By the time we returned around 1:30 both lots were nearly full, but with the coming/going of people finishing their hikes, I don't think it would have been a problem to arrive later in the day. |
|
| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
small rock hop at beginning of the loop (CCW) was a non-issue |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some blowdowns (some large), mostly on the stretch between Dickey and trailhead (i.e. decent if going CCW). All were easily navigated. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw lots of dogs, all happy. |
|
| Bugs: |
Many. Black flies and mosquitos were definitely working this day, and eventually we had to break out the 30% DEET which did the trick. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
Picked up various bits of other people's trash. |

| Comments: |
Couldn't have picked a better day for Welch-Dickey. We did the loop CCW, as did many others. Probably encountered upwards of 100 people, not surprisingly. Trail was in good condition, no problems. |
