Trails Used

Ledges trail, Fire warden trail

Trail Conditions

Notes

Pleasant continues to live up to it's name. Ledges was a soggy bog for the bottom 3/4 of a mile or so but nice and dry the rest of the way to the top. The ledges themselves are fine. Fire warden was the opposite with the top half being a slippery muddy river down leaf covered slab for the first half mile or so and then dry the whole bottom. Ledges gave me soggy feet but was never treacherous, Fire warden I did wipe out and had to slow down a lot. Slabs have a nice slick of slime that makes them like black ice. Not a speck of snow or ice anywhere.

Trails Used

Bald Peak Trail

Equipment

Notes

Snowshoes all day. There are some spots where there is ice and microspikes would be ok but I like my beatahhh snowshoes…. Some deep postholes here and there but generally not that bad. Nice views on Bald peak, ridge, and summit…. Mt Washington looks like it lost a lot of snow. Great 4.8 mile out & back hike.

Parking

Icy parking lot early…. Softened up later in the day
