 | Comments: |
This loop is almost snow free. I encountered a short section of unstable monorail about .5 from the North Moat summit. There was a bit more of this on my way down to Red Ridge. Once on the ledges of Red Ridge it was snow free and mostly dry. There are some pools of standing water here and there once back in the woods. Was able to see the smoke from the fire on Bayle Mt in the Ossipees from the summit, hope it is under control and out soon. |
