Trail: Attitash Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“The trail is easy to follow all the way from Table to Big Attitash (BA). It could use some brushing in many areas, but has no “car wash” sections, yet. A trail runner training for the Jigger Johnson race nearly scared the life out of me as I was returning to Table from BA. I’d not seen a soul the entire hike and then he came whipping around a corner unseen and unheard until he wasn’t. He was very kind and took a moment to chat briefly (pretty sure he was just making sure I wasn’t going to go into cardiac arrest) and during this brief moment, mentioned how wild/rugged the woods/trail are between Table and BA. It was well said. This section are woods consistently varying between hardwoods, softwoods and a mix the entire 2.5 mile stretch to the BA summit. The bog just before the summit was wet today. Gaia had this OAB at 9 miles and 2600’ feet of gain.”
Trail: Attitash Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail
“One car upon arrival, two others upon return to lot. All parked strategically. Saw four humans today and one doggo. Blue bead lily in flower and lots of happy birds singing in the woods. Nice little waterfall right now about a half mile in.”
Trail: Attitash Trail
Conditions: Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“1st 1/2-> along water, dirt trail with some mud. 2nd 1/2-> much steeper, several rock slabs with views. The last climb before the summit the trail is a little hard to follow, stay along the rock edges and you'll find it, it seems many people continue to try and climb up rather than go across. the actual summit has no views. I went up and back down to the "major" viewing point.”
