 | Comments: |
Nice hike on a steamy day. About 25 yards past the summit sign on Webster Slide Mountain is a beautiful campsite/overlook with a grew view of Wachipauka Pond and Carr Mountain beyond. Several nice camping spots along the western shore of the pond. The Wachipauka Pond Trail is a segment of the AT; we met one southbounder who said he was sad to be leaving the White Mountains. A few photos are at the website linked below. |
