Notes

Hiker Nathan Bowers experienced a medical emergency approximately 1/2 mile from the trailhead on Hersey Mountain. He was treated by first responders, transported via OHRV to the trailhead, and then taken to Speare Memorial Hospital by ambulance.

Trails Used

Class VI Road, Hersey Mountain Trail, Bushwhack

Trail Conditions

Equipment

Notes

Decided to take a trail less traveled to avoid packed ice. Snow depths ranged from 0 to 8 inches and was patchy in areas. Barefooted the whole route but spikes are an option. Bushwhacked on the way down to explore more of the forest. Enjoyed the time out in somewhere new to me.

Parking

Carter Mountain Rd is soft so take it easy for the neighbors sake.
