Trail: Moat Mountain Trail, Attitash Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Fun day out with Coach getting well off the beaten path for a moat traverse and a side of extra credit. First time on the section between Table and the Moat/Attitash Trail junction. An interesting, rugged, quiet area where it’s easy to feel alone. Got on trail at 6am and didn’t see a soul for the whole day, it was lovely. Saw a few random patches of snow and ice off to the side in some shady places. We can officially call ice out on the Moats.”
Trail: Attitash Trail
Conditions: Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock
“Nice easy hike for the first half. The second half involved areas of scree on steep rock slabs. However, there were trees and roots to hold onto. Rock slabs were wet at this time due to rain but starting to dry on our way down. No snow or ice remaining. Several small stream running across the trail which were easily crossed.”
Trail: Attitash Trail, Moat Mountain Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Leaves - Significant/Slippery
“Big difference between the used and unused sections here. Up to Table was as expected, and went very fast with lots of views! Between that and Big Attitash quite eroded, and not all that exciting either.Things picked up nicely descending alongside Lucy Brook though!”
