The Liberty Springs Trail (the AT) gets a lot of traffic but I only have winter experience on that stretch the one time I went w/ tMail right after a spring storm. I'll probably wait until Friday night to decide, but I'll probably bring my mountaineering snowshoes only and bareboot the ridge if it's blown clean betw Haystack and Lafayette.muthazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250541951792544752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207942437238938161.post-26649919253481467282008-01-16T21:31:00.000-05:002008-01-16T21:31:00.000-05:00See you in the Lafayette Place parking lot at 8:30...See you in the Lafayette Place parking lot at 8:30 then.<BR/><BR/>MZ the Franconia Notch Rec path is 2.9 according to the AMC map I have. But logistically I agree with tmail that spotting a car is not all that beneficial since the parking for the Liberty Springs TH is .9 south of the TH.

We had bright sunshine and relative warm temperatures. The going can be extremely slow if the snow is piled steep and if temps are very low we may want to avoid that section or option of this adventure if we are not generating enough heat throughTim Finocchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195397004991895330noreply@blogger.com
