Finally hiked Grafton Notch Loop west side.
Eyebrow Trail: much easier than we had anticipated. Steep, yes.. but a cable railing and sturdy rock staples made for sure footing.
Water: Bull Run Campsite / yes; Slide Mtn. Campsite / yes; Sargent Brook Campsite / almost completely dry and only a small bowl like depression of water in the brook bed; Bald Mtn. Campsite / pools of water which were adequate if filtering
Sunday River Wildcat: WOW!!! The highlight of the trip. 360 degree panoramic view, alpine zone, well cared for... just stunning.
Another fine adventure with Steve, Karen & Ken R. |
