East Rattlesnake
Holderness, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Descending the Col Trail
Route: East Rattlesnake Trail, Ridge Trail, Col Trail
East Rattlesnake Trail was broken out but not consolidated, as was the section of the Ridge Trail to the viewpoint. Above there, the trail was unbroken to the wooded summit. No recent traffic up from the other side.
Back on the Ridge Trail, there were some extended drifted in areas on the way to the Col. No recent traffic heading to Route 113 on the Col Trail, but there were some tracks heading to West Rattlesnake. Col Trail westbound was broken out but not well consolidated. Five Finger Point and Pasture Trail both appear to have some recent use.
Though comparatively warm in the single digits, a cold morning with some bitter gusts of wind. Though there are some three foot deep sections on the ridge, the snowpack on the western slope is probably one to two feet.
