 | Comments: |
Four of us enjoyed a very pleasant snow-free day on the Belknap Range. The only snow encountered today was as we crossed the ski trails. These trails do take great care to follow in places, so be prepared with maps or at least trail descriptions. There are beautiful sweeping views of the Lakes Region from most of the ledges. We cleared bigger debris from our trek path on the way down, but some smaller debris remains from the last wind storm. |
