Also, hikers in Tuckerman and Huntington ravines should be aware that avalanche season has begun. Check here for the latest avalanche conditions.

Evans Notch Road (Route 113) is now closed at both ends until May 1, 2009, due to a bridge replacement project over Little Lary Brook. This road is normally closed for the winter beginning about December 1 (depending on weather). Once snow falls, the bridge repair will prohibit snowmobilers from entering the state trail system from Route 2. Maine DOT News Release.
