Date(s) Hiked: 2-11-07
Trails(s) Hiked: Logging roads, Bushwhack
Total Distance: ~5
Difficulty: Very difficult
Conditions: Snowy, Sprucey
Special Required Equipment: Snowshoes
Trip Report:
Anyone thinking of doing this mountain soon should do it before the next snow fall! We packed down a nice easy to follow (except maybe through the spruce mess which wasn’t that much) path! It’s practically a super highway! (just park behind 7 dwarves and follow my map directions).
Yellow Dog (Jeff), and donna joined me on this hike, and what a hike it was! It was an excellent day with absolutely awesome views. I will decree that PAtN has one of the most underrated views in the Whites. I was not expecting such a great view from a bushwhack! This whack had a lot of steep sections, but the heavy spruce wasn’t too bad (there were virtually no blow downs in the spruce which makes it a lot easier).
Please note: the summit canister is on a blown down tree. Its tilted around 45 degrees so its not on the ground yet. Also, if you climb it on a foggy day there is a false summit and a real summit. Make sure you get the real one .
