| Comments: |
Introducing some new people to hiking and thought this would be a nice hike. The trail has significant mud and running water in spots which will be around for a few days so expect wet boots. Great views as always from the top - a must visit. A busy day in Grafton notch with dozens heading up to table rock or beyond and many others coming down from Old Speck. |
