Copple Crown Mountain, NH |
|
 | Trails: |
Copple Crown Mountain Trail, East Peak Spur |
|
 | Date of Hike: |
Sunday, October 14, 2018 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The Class VI extension of Moose Mountain Rd, which leads to the trailhead, is rough in spots and has several pond-size puddles of water covering the roadway. 4wd/high clearance is best, but I suppose anything else could make it with careful driving. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Leaves - Significant/Slippery |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All easily rock hopped. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The first half of the trail, which follows dirt roads, is easy to follow but not really marked or blazed. The second half, which follows a more standard footpath, is blazed well but can be hard to follow, especially with the current leaf cover. Also, a line of about seven or so ATVs passed me on the way down, so the lower half of trail does appear to have somewhat heavy use by them. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw about as many dogs as I did people- this looks to be a popular dog hike. Water not an issue right now with the wet trail conditions. |

 | Comments: |
Had been putting this hike off for far too long, so I decided to do it on a whim. Excellent views from the view ledge on the east peak, and a more restricted view toward the west from the main peak, but other than that, this was kind of a ho-hum hike. Fortunately, the fall foliage made up for it. |
