Heading up the Dearborn Trail Route: Dearborn Trail The forecast called for a storm cell moving through later in the afternoon/early evening, so I decided to stay local. Not wanting to deal with snow, I headed up the Dearborn Trail. With the exception of a few patches near the top, the trail was snow free. Other than the bottom flats, the trail was also dry. Though the haze limited views a bit, they were still strong - even a distant outline of Mt. Washington was visible. One particulary troubling thing was that I picked up 5 ticks during the hike - more than I've ever had in my life combined. Wow!
