Mt. Major
Alton, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down the Mt. Major Trail
Route: Mt. Major Trail, (Mt. Major), Mt. Major Trail
Surprisingly the Mt. Major Trail hadn't been used since the storm. Trail is now broken out top to bottom for snowshoe use (I meandered a few times trying to regain lost time, raising the rising sun).
Beeline Trail was previously broken out for snowshoe traffic (wish I had known that...would have gone that way!)
Brook Trail has seen one barebooter.
Generally a foot or so of new powder. Blue ice is currently covered up nicely.
