| Comments: |
Trail was pretty dry from the Route 115 parking lot to the summit of Mt. Martha. Lots of wildflowers along the Cherry Mountain Trail. A few tiny patches of snow up high, but very easily avoided - will probably be gone in another few days. A few of the ledges on Martha's Mile on Owl's Head were wet/slippery. |
