Mt. Monroe, Mt. Washington

Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail
Route: Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail, Crawford Path, Monroe Loop, Trinity Heights Connector, Gulfside, Jewell Trail, herd path
Lower Ammo had lots of minor mud pits and wet rocks. Not a fan of how rough this section of trail is due to erosion, etc.
Steeps and above treeline weren't as wet or slippery.
Jewell had some blowdowns to climb over, but trail was generally dry.
The spur trail to the Cog had a closed sign on the upper junction (ie if coming downhill). A well defined herd path goes immediately left and soon empties out onto the Cog tracks a few hundred yards above the base. Yet, when you reach the base, you have to duck under a chain with (not facing uphill traffic) No Trespassing signs. And, the lower side of the Jewell spur (ie where the bridge was) does not have a closed sign.

Directions to trailhead: To get to the Cog Base Station, take 302 West from Crawford Notch, then take a right onto Base Station Road. In summer 2014, there was hiker parking available at the Cog Base Station's bottom lot. Looking up the mountain from the parking lot, the spur trail to the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail begins up the hill to the right, a bit below two cabins.
