Mt Passaconaway 4042'

12.5 Miles. Oliverian Brook up & back Square Ledge

Winter's grip has finally ended. Two adventurers enjoyed a sunny 70 degree weekend hiking in the Sandwich range this past weekend, snow is almost gone.

Oliverian Brook is flat and easy, gradual climb gets more serious closer to Square Ledge. 4 Water crossings total, spring hiking means wet boots and rock jumping. We Used Yaktrax for two rough ice patches near the summit but other then that we were just sloppy barebooting; clean trail below 3000 ft

This was my third time hiking Passaconaway with a heavy pack. A good quest was needed for weary winter souls, another big year for adventures I'm sure.
